Legal support for software development companies, IT and no-code agencies

When your code is solid but your contracts aren't.
Your software implementation agreements protect your client, not you
Poorly defined scopes of work and a lack of liability caps create risks in every IT project.
The legal details that matter here are the ones a generalist will miss, but your client won't.
You're worried about liability for coding and implementation errors
Without service agreements and SLAs, your IT company is exposed to the consequences of mistakes when outsourcing development work.
An experienced law firm with a track record in the IT industry closes these gaps before you sign.
You don't know who actually owns the rights to the source code
Confusion over the transfer of economic rights under copyright from freelancers and subcontractors means you need help protecting your intellectual property.

A major client is asking tough questions about GDPR and compliance
Business partners are asking about the GDPR, NIS2 or DORA. Without data protection procedures, major projects remain out of reach.

What is it like to work with us?
Working with the Creativa Legal team is a pure pleasure. Their professionalism, timeliness and the quality of their work exceed expectations. Their proactive approach to projects, readiness to solve problems and flexibility mean every task gets done smoothly and efficiently.
I’ve been using Creativa.Legal’s services for about a year now. What I like most is how well they understand the context of my industry (software house) – so I don’t have to over-explain things, which often happened when working with other law firms. They simply come up with solutions on their own that I wouldn’t have thought of myself. And that’s exactly what shows this service is truly professional.
In working with the firm, we value not just their punctuality, clear advice and transparent communication, but also their openness to every question and the easy exchange of ideas – by email or during online meetings. We also rate highly their transparency on engagement costs and their holistic approach to our plans.
We recommend Creativa Legal to blockchain start-ups looking for lawyers who are flexible, communicative, and will guide them by the hand through the entire project.
Creativa Legal supports our digital marketing agency, MBridge – Marketing Experts, on legal matters. The collaboration has been marked above all by professionalism and quality, and at every stage we’ve been impressed by the firm’s expertise.
Communication is remarkably smooth, and the care they put into their work means we get solutions that are detailed and tailored specifically to us. Any suggested changes are implemented promptly, and the firm’s reliability on deadlines is yet another of its many strengths.
The firm prepared a set of terms and conditions for us implementing the Omnibus Directive and the Digital Content Directive across our B2B and B2C services. Together, we also carried out a GDPR audit and implementation.
The biggest advantages of working with Creativa Legal are responsiveness, transparency about costs, and a comprehensive approach to business. The Creativa team is always ready to help with day-to-day matters 🙂
In my opinion, lawyers come in two types. Those who find it easier to just say something can’t be done for the sake of peace and quiet, and those who actually look for a solution. Fortunately, Creativa Legal belongs to that second group.
I’d recommend working with Creativa Legal especially to companies in the advertising industry. Their understanding of the ins and outs of our industry speeds up every process significantly and helps find a way out of situations that can otherwise be hard to escape.
Wanting to streamline our sales management process, we decided to work with a software house on building, deploying and maintaining an application. Since a business-minded approach and protecting the company in our relationship with the contractor mattered to us, we reached out to Creativa Legal.
In our day-to-day collaboration, what we value most is their comprehensive approach, smooth ongoing contact, response time and flexibility. We’ll keep working together.
I recommend Creativa Legal’s services to all entrepreneurs in the crypto and e-commerce industries, above all for their openness to new and unconventional solutions, their comprehensive approach, and how quick and easy it is to stay in touch with them (through online tools).
What’s more, special mention goes to how punctually the firm delivers on engagements and how committed its lawyers are to seeing them through.
My first contact with Arek was great – during our meeting he explained all the ins and outs of working together. The firm analysed our application in real depth, looking at how it works and how the terms and conditions should be drafted for us.
I highly recommend the firm to anyone building their own SaaS application who wants everything buttoned up tight! We’d worked with several firms before, but none matched Creativa Legal for professionalism, thoroughness, and communication!
The lawyers analysed every issue that mattered to us, prepared documents for the platforms, drafted agreements with our partners and subcontractors, and continue to support our companies’ operations on an ongoing basis. The firm also supported us in registering the Immobooking Foundation.
The firm’s team always responds to our needs quickly and professionally. We wholeheartedly recommend Creativa Legal to companies looking for comprehensive legal care!

Frequently asked questions about legal support for software development companies
One-off projects (an audit, a package of IT contracts or a GDPR compliance project) range from a few thousand zlotys to under PLN 20,000. Ongoing IT legal support on a subscription basis starts at PLN 3,000 per month and includes day-to-day legal and corporate advice. We quote the price upfront.
A generalist understands the law, but not your business. An IT lawyer with years of experience knows how the industry works and understands its common legal risks. We tailor our approach to each software development company. A specialist IT law firm is a partner, not a service provider who only reacts to problems.
We advise on AI Act compliance. The AI Act requires AI systems to be classified and compliance procedures to be put in place. A specialist IT lawyer understands these requirements. We support you from the audit through to training.
We have advised 800+ companies, including SaaS, marketplace, fintech, and e-commerce businesses. We publish content on IT law and host a podcast. We're a law firm working where law and technology meet.
Your business sets the direction. We make sure IT law doesn't limit its potential. We'll map out a course of action and develop solutions in line with your growth plans.
Every company in the IT sector needs software implementation agreements, developer agreements with copyright assignment clauses, service agreements and SLAs. You also need terms and conditions for providing IT services. Legal support for the IT industry starts with an audit.
An assignment of copyright in software must be in writing. When working with subcontractors, you need a chain of contracts that ensures copyright is transferred. Many companies only discover IP problems during due diligence.
You need a privacy policy, data processing agreements (DPAs) and data breach procedures. Your GDPR compliance measures must be tailored to the domestic market. Data protection requirements are more stringent for SaaS, e-commerce and fintech businesses.
B2B contracts with developers must define the scope of work, provide for the assignment of economic rights under copyright and include confidentiality clauses. Properly aligned contracts allow copyright to pass through the contractual chain.
No-code solutions don't exempt you from legal obligations. You're building on someone else's infrastructure, so you need to understand the licence terms. Copyright issues in no-code projects can be complex. You must also address GDPR compliance, terms and conditions, and IT contracts.
A service level agreement sets the standard for IT services, covering response times, availability and contractual penalties. For an IT company, a well-drafted SLA protects against claims and sets clear limits on liability.
Outsourcing development work requires copyright assignments throughout the contractual chain, as well as confidentiality clauses. Experienced IT lawyers understand both IT law and how the industry operates in this area.
