How a Software & It Services Business Hired a Lawyer to Review an IP Assignment Agreement in Texas

In 2026, a business in Texas sought assistance with an intellectual property assignment agreement for an open-source software project. The client had developed a comprehensive evidence-mapping engine before forming a single-member LLC and needed the intellectual property formally assigned to the entity. The goal was to ensure that the assignment was sound, confirmed as a capital contribution, and aligned with existing public licenses for the software and content associated with the project. As a result, the client received four proposals from qualified lawyers, with flat fee bids ranging from $495 to $700. All proposals were submitted to meet the client's deadline of one week, enabling them to proceed with the necessary legal assurances for their LLC.
