ІТ Business Structuring #copyright #tax #legal_security
A successful IT business typically develops so rapidly that there is no time for bureaucratic routines to become established. Eventually you will need to structure your IT business for tax planning purposes, to protect corporate rights, to retain copyrights, and to eliminate other operational risks.
As we understand the delicacies of any IT business, we are in a position to offer our clients the most efficient business services possible, tailored for the multi-business and multi-jurisdiction of their given environment. Our lawyers will help you create the right structure in order to facilitate well-tuned operations and efficient management while protecting the integrity of the legal rights for the products you create, as well as proper appreciation of contributions by full-time employees, freelancers and contractors.
We have recently advised:
Vostok Games (a company established by the developers of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series) on structuring of its business in Ukraine and abroad
international Internet-trade center ALLbiz on restructuring of its business and legal implementation of further Internet-portal projects

Investments into IT Companies, Start-ups#term_sheet #due_diligence #seed
The success of any start-up depends predominantly on whether the founders and/or investors have properly documented their agreements. The Ukrainian legal framework is not yet fully adapted for founding and investment agreements in the IT sector. As a result, structuring of ownership relations with foreign stakeholders is one of the most sought-after legal services.
Undoubtedly, the most valuable assets of any tech company are its developments, products and people. Our extensive expertise and exclusive know-how enable us to quickly and effectively analyse the clients’ business needs, to make all elements of the IP right transfer chain match within an efficient and workable structure, to calibrate the most sensitive provisions of agreements with their key employees, and to advise on other important issues.

Protect IT
IP and Brand Protection on the Internet#piracy #cybersquatting
If you identify a company possessing a domain or a website that is confusingly similar to yours, you can take it to court for a breach of IP rights as well as for an attempt to mislead consumers or claim violation of your rights by another form of unfair competition.
The biggest challenge in such cases is to stop cyber grabbing and squatting. It is difficult but feasible. In order to achieve this goal, we use all available methods, inter alia: search engine reputation management and advertising network surveillance, taking down content by the hosting provider, claiming damages.
We have recently advised:
a global gaming company on protection of its copyright and trademark rights
Lamoda online store on trademark protection issues

E-commerce and other Online Business #digital_currency #public_offer #personal_data
With no brick-and-mortar outlets, virtual stores often maintain a balance within an inch of breaking the law. Though seemingly commonplace and accepted, this market practice worries foreign investors. Furthermore, any virtual business will eventually reach the point where it can no longer stay unnoticed by regulatory authorities.
We are confident that we can help a company structure its online business and keep it financially attractive while remaining in line with all legal requirements. Additionally, owners of any online business should always keep in mind that neither online sales nor online services enjoy exemption from state regulations. Our team has both the resources and the expertise to advise you on how to comply with the requirements of the relevant consumer protection and data protection laws and other e-commerce regulations.
