How an Information Technology & Services Business Hired a Lawyer to Review an IP Assignment Agreement in Delaware

In 2026, a business in Delaware sought assistance with a legal review of an intellectual property assignment agreement. The client aimed to ensure that personal assets were safeguarded during a transaction involving the sale of backend and API source code, while also navigating the complexities of pre-incorporation contracts and potential liabilities. Specific concerns included the timing for executing the agreements, ensuring a clear chain of title, and confirming the effectiveness of "AS-IS" protections against legal risks associated with the sale. As a result, the client received 12 proposals from qualified attorneys, with flat fee bids ranging from $700 to $4,500, all submitted to meet the client's deadline of one week.
