Legal support for tech companies / scale-ups
Like technical debt, legal debt grows with your company and stops you scaling.
Our IT law firm provides legal support to tech companies during rapid growth, at the scale-up stage and ahead of an exit, including IT contract audits, contract drafting and data protection advice.
- We’ll review your processes and IT contracts against the relevant legal requirements. We know where to look for risks.
- We’ll recommend legal solutions tailored to your company and its stage of growth.
- We’ll prepare the legal documents you need and train your team to use them.
Your legal debt is stopping you scaling.
Your IT contracts and documents can't keep pace with your company's growth
Implementation and licence agreements from your MVP days don't scale.
We start with a contract audit and a set of contracts tailored to your scale-up. We tackle your legal debt and help you negotiate agreements with enterprise clients.
Compliance gaps are costing you major clients
Corporate legal teams reject your MSAs and SLAs.
Failure to comply with DORA and NIS2 shuts you out of regulated industries and prevents you from winning major clients.
Investor due diligence is a nightmare
Disorganised corporate records, draft investment agreements and copyright assignments, along with gaps in IP protection, hold up your funding round or lower your valuation.
We put your company’s agreements in order before due diligence. Our lawyers combine experience of investment transactions with expertise in IT law.

This won't be your typical lawyer–client relationship
What is it like to work with us?
We were looking for a partner who wouldn’t just guide us through the investment process, but do it efficiently and in a modern way. Time mattered to us, as did minimising the operational burden on the management board.
What set the collaboration apart was that they took full ownership of the process while keeping communication transparent throughout. We could focus on growing the business, confident that the legal side was in good hands.
What sets Creativa Legal apart most is their genuine commitment to understanding our business. The lawyers got to know the specifics of our products, which let them create solutions perfectly tailored to our needs, and the subscription model gave us predictable costs and the assurance of ongoing expert support.
We wholeheartedly recommend working with Creativa Legal!
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.
Running a company in the medtech space that’s also a licensed healthcare provider, I needed lawyers who understand the challenges of this business and can support its growth through a practical approach to law.
We needed to get our legal foundations in order – from securing copyright in medical content, through corporate structure, to standards for working with doctors. The law firm approached the topic comprehensively and practically – and importantly, the lawyers’ pace never slowed our growth.
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 🙂
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!
Throughout our entire collaboration, the firm’s team showed an exceptional understanding of issues related to the cryptocurrency market. They were always ready to answer questions and clear up any doubts.
The firm fully understood our needs and the specifics of the project, and their experience allowed them to effectively identify and resolve all the legal and regulatory challenges related to tokenisation.

A generalist understands the law, but not your business. You have to explain MRR or how the SaaS model works every time. Our firm specialises in legal support for the IT sector. We know its business models, common risks and legal issues. A law firm for technology companies gives you a lawyer who acts as your partner, not a reactive adviser.
Our goal is to remove blockers. Timing depends on the scope. Whether we're conducting a legal audit, helping you put documentation into practice or running a compliance project involving the AI Act, DORA or NIS2, our quote includes a clear timeline. We work alongside your team and keep the demands on them to a minimum.
We've supported dozens of IT companies. We have years of experience providing legal support across the sector, including SaaS, marketplaces, fintech, healthtech, AI, e-commerce and blockchain. We attend IT industry conferences, publish articles on IT law and host a podcast.
We start with a project, such as a legal audit, a compliance programme or preparation for a funding round. Once it is successfully completed, we offer ongoing legal support on a subscription basis. You get a dedicated lawyer who knows your business, priority support on technology-related legal issues, and no hourly billing.

IP audits, licence agreements, assignment of economic rights under copyright and trade mark registration with UPRP, EUIPO and WIPO.

Our advice also covers the legal aspects of AI and machine-generated works.
Yes. We help you choose the right legal form, whether a simple joint-stock company (P.S.A.) or a limited liability company (sp. z o.o.), so it doesn’t block investment. We also handle registration with the National Court Register (KRS) and prepare the articles of association, management board rules of procedure and other corporate documents. We assist with company formation, restructuring, changes of legal form and holding structures. Corporate legal support and company law advice are part of the ongoing legal support we provide to IT companies.
Fast-growing technology companies need an audit of their legal foundations, including IT contracts, IP and GDPR compliance. They also need to put corporate documents and draft agreements in order ahead of due diligence. Other priorities include compliance with the AI Act, DORA and NIS2, employee share option plans (ESOPs), and copyright and intellectual property protection. At this stage, ongoing legal support requires a lawyer who understands the challenges of scaling and the law as it applies to technology companies.
Implementation agreements with copyright assignment, licence agreements covering SaaS, APIs and white-label solutions, SLAs, contracts with software development companies and commercial agreements with partners. We draft contracts tailored to new technologies, e-commerce and mobile apps. We also review and negotiate contracts with business partners as part of our legal support.
