MOST COMMON PROBLEMS

when a project starts to take on a larger scale

In the creative industry, legal issues rarely arise at the beginning. Most often, they only come to light when a game is released, an investor comes on board, or a dispute over the rights to a project arises. Below, we outline the most common situations in which developers and game development studios need to sort out legal matters.

The rights to the game are divided among the creators The project involves programmers, artists, screenwriters, and composers. Without proper contracts, the copyrights may remain with the creators rather than with the studio.

The Right Structure

We design the structure of production agreements and copyright assignment agreements so that the studio retains full rights to commercialize the game.
An agreement with a publisher or partner limits the studio's freedom Unclear licensing rules, revenue sharing, or the scope of rights can hinder a project's development.

Protection of Interests

We negotiate and draft publishing and production agreements to protect the interests of creators and enable the game's continued distribution.
The game must meet the requirements of the distribution platforms Platforms such as Steam, Epic Games, and GOG impose their own terms of service and legal standards.

Audit and Documentation

We draft end-user license agreements (EULAs) and verify that the project complies with the requirements of sales platforms.
The creators want to attract an investor The studio is developing the project, but needs capital for production or marketing.

Support throughout the investment process

We advise on investment structures, negotiate investment agreements, and prepare the company for an investor’s entry.

Maciej Jastrzębski

In my work, I believe that a lawyer should help clients achieve their business goals, not complicate them. That is why I support clients in finding solutions that are practical, effective, and tailored to the realities of their business. I specialize in contract negotiation, corporate law, intellectual property, and public procurement-particularly for the IT, game development, energy, and manufacturing sectors.

After work, you're most likely to find me in the kitchen or out on Lake Żywieckie on a SUP. I also regularly revisit contemporary Czech literature, photography, railway technology, and video games.
