Legal support for the export of IT services

The Ukrainian IT sector is not just an industry, it is a brand. Programmers, analysts, DevOps engineers, UI/UX designers — thousands of specialists work on projects for clients from the United States, the European Union, the Middle East, and Asia every day.  

Ukrainian companies are creating world-class products, and more and more of them are entering international markets. However, globalization means not only new opportunities, but also new legal risks.  

Contracts, taxes, currency regulation, intellectual property protection, compliance with international standards — all this requires professional legal support.   

And if earlier it was a desirable option, today it is a critical element of the development strategy.  

Why is legal support for the export of IT services not a luxury, but a necessity?  

Contract security  

Agreements with foreign customers should not just be “translated into English”. They should take into account the specifics of international law, tax nuances, jurisdictional risks, force majeure provisions, liability of the parties, and dispute resolution mechanisms.  

An incorrectly drafted contract is a direct path to losing money, reputation, or even lawsuits.  

Intellectual property protection  

Code, algorithms, design, brand — all this is your asset. Without proper legal registration, you risk losing the rights to the product, or facing unauthorized use of your development.  

We ensure the registration of copyrights, trademarks, patents, as well as the inclusion of IP clauses in contracts.
