About this Gig
Your source code and intellectual property are your most valuable assets. If you hire a freelance software developer without a specialized legal contract, the developer may legally retain the rights to the code they write.
As a licensed US Attorney (Bar #221087), I draft airtight Software Development Contracts that ensure you own 100% of the IP, source code, and final product.
This contract is essential for app development, SaaS building, and web development. It will specifically cover:
- Complete Intellectual Property & Source Code Assignment
- Payment Milestones tied to Deliverables
- Bug Fixes, Testing, and Post-Launch Maintenance
- Confidentiality and Trade Secret Protection
- Clear timelines and termination rights
Protect your tech investment before a single line of code is written. I provide expert legal drafting based on written instructions (no audio/video calls). Order today to ensure your tech startup remains legally protected and compliant.
