Put in writing who ends up with what
We start by mapping who has produced what at your company —staff, contractors, freelancers and agencies— and we prepare, for each of those relationships, the assignment contract that matches it. A lawyer at the firm drafts it and reviews it.
A lawyer at the firm drafts every contract and reviews it with you before it is signed. There is nothing here to download and no template that fills itself in.
From the map of relationships to the signed contract
Three steps with a lawyer at the firm. There is no form to fill in and no document that generates itself.
Step 1 of 3. Map of relationships
We walk through who has produced what and under which relationship: in-house staff, contractors, freelancers and agencies. The outcome is an inventory, not an impression.
Deliverable: inventory of works and relationships
Step 2 of 3. Drafting, relationship by relationship
A lawyer at the firm drafts the contract that matches each relationship on the inventory and adapts it to how your team works. Each one is written for your case.
Deliverable: contracts drafted by the lawyer
Step 3 of 3. Signature and record
We walk you through the signing and file what was signed, with whom and when, so the next hire starts from the record instead of from scratch.

The rest of the copyright filings
An assignment rarely travels alone. Tell us who you are and you will see which other copyright filings apply to you.
The assignment and the filing are hired together
They are two separate services and almost no client hires one without the other: this one prepares the contracts, the other one files the software registration with the DNDA.
What you get and what it costs
Nothing here gets filed with any authority, so the only thing we quote you is the lawyer’s work.

Who owns the work you commission, and what the contract changes
[ PENDING — legal text to be drafted ]
You will not find loose clauses here, and nothing to copy: every contract is drafted for your case.
This service has no published fee yet: it goes to quote. Tell us how many relationships have to be documented and we will send you the scope and the fee in writing.
How long we take, and what the firm does not decide
Preparation runs on our own clock. Anything that depends on a regulation is confirmed by a lawyer once we have seen your case.
