Reveal risks, protect assets, and uncover innovation.
Code Audit
You want to sell (or acquire) a company with significant software assets. It sounds simple until the lawyers start asking you about who wrote what in your code.
You need to be able to:
- Identify what you and your employees wrote
- Identify what independent contractors wrote (and have a copy of each agreement with them regarding copyright ownership)
- Identify where open source code was used, and under what license
There are also technical issues that can arise upon a review of the code. An example would be finding that the code exfiltrates data in a way inconsistent with a privacy policy.
Our attorneys are familiar with coding, and can help with code audit issues.
