Software/IP

Advice on software, licences, development, IP rights, SaaS, open-source and technology contracts.

Jurisdiction: Romania Languages: Romanian / English Companies with IP and technology assets

Perspective

Advice adapted to how the company makes decisions.

Software/IP should be treated as part of how the company operates, negotiates and accepts risk. It is not enough for documents to be formally correct; they must be usable by directors, founders, management, investors or international teams at real decision points.

Protection and contractual structure for software products and technology. In practice, this means clarifying signing authority, approvals, party relationships and the risks that should be solved before they become commercial blockers.

We frequently work on software development agreements, saaS terms of use, licences and IP rights, open-source and chain of rights, clauses for deliverables, maintenance and support. Each matter is calibrated to the commercial stakes: sometimes the client needs a precise review, while in other cases the project requires a complete structure that can stand up to negotiation, audit, financing or international implementation.

For foreign clients, we explain Romanian law in a format that can be integrated into a wider project. For Romanian companies, we translate legal risk into business options, timing, documents and concrete next steps.

The objective is a clear legal position: what can be done, what should be avoided, which documents are needed and where negotiation matters. This reduces uncertainty and helps the company make decisions without turning law into an operational brake.

How we work
