Experts in video game law.
The first Spanish boutique law firm devoted exclusively to the sector. Whatever legal matter comes up in this industry, we sort it out with you.
Why choose us?
We stand out in a very competitive field for a simple reason: this is all we do.
We know the sector from the inside and we study the specific problems of the people in it, not those of the general practice next door. We follow regulatory changes and new trends closely so we can give you answers at the pace this industry moves, which is not exactly slow.
What exactly do we do?
We work with the people who make the game and with the people who make a living from it: studios, publishers, professional players, clubs and content creators. The ecosystem is the same, but their problems look nothing alike, which is why we do not have one package of services but seven.

Intellectual property
What you call «my game» is, in legal terms, several works at once, and each one is protected by a different route. We make sure they are all in your name before anyone asks whose they are.

Ecosystem contracts
Almost no dispute starts with an infringement: it starts with a clause nobody read twice. We draft yours and review the ones you are sent before you sign.

Negotiation
Before you sit down it pays to know what can be moved and what cannot. We sit with you (studio or publisher) and we do not let go of the document until it says exactly what you agreed.

Set up your studio
How you incorporate decides two awkward things: who owns the IP and what happens the day a partner walks. Better to choose it now than to find out then.

Litigation and representation
This is where we part ways with the rest: if it has to go to court, we go. And the other side knowing it changes the tone of the conversation from day one.

Ongoing counsel
Your legal department, without it being on the payroll. For the day to day, and for everything that goes unreviewed until it becomes a problem.

Esports, clubs and streamers
We do not just protect the people who make the game: we also protect those who compete in it and those who broadcast it. A different playing field, the same rules of the trade.

How does the process work?
Consultation
The first consultation is free and with no obligation. Tell us what happened through the website, by email, by phone or in person, whichever suits you best.
Documentation
We review all the documentation in the case in detail and give you a specific answer, not a generic opinion that would fit anyone. With rigour and absolute confidentiality.
Negotiation
When the matter calls for it, we negotiate with the other side with one clear goal: the outcome you are after. Sometimes that means closing the deal, sometimes improving the terms of the contract, and sometimes laying the groundwork for whatever comes next.
Representation
If things go wrong or the matter takes an unexpected turn, we defend your interests before the courts with a case that has been built and arguments backed by the applicable rules. All the way.
