Your repo already carries legal debt.
Dependencies with licences nobody read, code from a freelancer with no assignment contract, a user base that grew on its own. None of it breaks the build: it shows up in due diligence.

Every stage of your product carries its own legal debt.
A developer does not wake up thinking about Ley 1581: they think about the sprint. Here each question shows up at the stage of the product where you are going to ask it.
Stage 1 of 6
Who owns the code?
At the start nobody signs anything: the founders write, a freelancer writes, sometimes an agency writes, and the split is agreed out loud. This stage puts it in writing while it is still an easy conversation.
Can I use this dependency?
Every package ships with the licence it declares, every AI model with its terms of use, and every release with code someone will have to be able to claim as their own. We review all three with the team, not with a generic PDF.
Ley 1581, inside your data schema
This is the stage where the product stores other people’s data: the users table, the cloud providers that host it and who answers for it inside the team. We work on your real data model here.

What is your user signing?
Terms of service, privacy notice, service level agreement and the cookie banner are what anyone entering the product accepts. They are written around your business model and the country you operate in.
Is the name yours?
The domain and the app store handle are not the trademark. Here the sign is studied before you spend on it, the application before the SIC is prepared in the class that fits software, and the move to other countries is planned.
Someone copied you
Landing page clones, modified builds of the app and accounts posing as the brand. What changes the outcome is how long it takes to notice, what was recorded and which channel you talk to.
Where a product team usually starts
These are the filings product teams ask us for most: the code, the terms your product publishes and the data it handles.
Pick the service you need.
By stage or on retainer
Early teams buy a single stage. Teams already running in production prefer the retainer, because legal work shows up every sprint, not once a year.
- Free
A review of your repository
An inventory of what is already in your code: dependency licences, keys in the history, missing licence files and the personal databases your product handles.
- No code upload
- With your repository in front of us
- No sign-up, no card
The automatic scanner that does this on its own is a separate product and is not online yet. For now the team does the inventory with you.
- RecommendedBy stage
One-stage package
We close a full stage of the cycle, with every deliverable versioned in your repository and a handoff session with the team.
