GameDev

The video game industry is one of the most dynamic sectors of the digital economy, where the success of a project depends not only on creative ideas and technology but also on a well-structured legal foundation.

Proper legal support allows developers and publishers to protect rights to products and content, build transparent relationships with partners and teams, implement monetization mechanics safely, and comply with both local and international regulations. We combine expertise in intellectual property, IT, and commercial law to help GameDev companies grow, expand into new markets, and build sustainable business models.

Who needs this?

For GameDev companies, it is crucial to protect rights to games, characters, and content, formalize relationships with teams and partners, build monetization models (from subscriptions to NFTs), and comply with requirements across jurisdictions.

Such clients need legal support that helps reduce risks, scale projects, and safely enter international markets.
