How a Business Hired a Lawyer to Review an IP Assignment Agreement in Florida

In 2026, a business based in Florida sought assistance with an IP assignment agreement in light of their software development efforts performed under an informal employment arrangement. The founder needed clarity on ownership rights concerning the software created during employment, alongside a review of a draft pilot agreement that included an employer release of any intellectual property claims. Additionally, they sought guidance on the paperwork required to transfer ownership of the software to their LLC while allowing the employer to utilize one component free of charge. As a result, the client received six proposals from licensed attorneys, with flat fee bids ranging from $599 to $1,999, all submitted within the requested timeframe of less than one week.
