From the first character sketch to the platform deal, LDU owns your IP chain of title, your licensing, your creator contracts and your content compliance. One capped monthly fee, no hourly billing, no junior handoffs.
IP and licensing counsel, on call
The situations you actually hit
Building on original IP means legal shows up at the worst moments, usually right as a deal or a launch is on the line. These are the ones studios, publishers and creators bring us most, and what changes when a senior lawyer already owns them.
Copyright and trademark registered in your key markets, takedowns sent to the platform, and a cease and desist that lands before the clone eats your launch window.
We read the licensing and distribution terms line by line and redline them so your rights, your royalties and your exit all stay on your side of the table.
Work-for-hire and IP assignment papered with every contributor, so the chain of title an investor or acquirer checks is clean and yours.
Terms of service, your EULA and a takedown process built so user-generated content and platform liability stay handled instead of hanging over you.
Content classification, advertising and influencer rules read by someone who has argued them, so a campaign or a release does not stall on a regulator's desk.
If it is legal and it touches what you make, it is in scope. Anything genuinely niche, we say so plainly and help you brief the right specialist.
What changes with us
Not a promise of fewer disputes. A set of concrete outcomes you feel almost immediately, because one senior lawyer now owns your whole rights surface instead of you.

The mandate
From the day your counsel starts, these stop being your problem. Everything on this list sits inside the same capped monthly fee.
Copyright and trademarks registered across the markets you release in, characters and brands protected, and infringers taken down before they dilute the IP you built.
If it is legal and it is yours, it is in scope. And if you ever need a niche specialist, we say so plainly and help you brief them.
The math
Every studio and creator founder runs this comparison eventually, usually after the first painful invoice or the first clone. Here it is up front instead.
S$300,000
a year, and climbing before equity
S$3,200
this month, and the meter never stops
One capped fee
a month, agreed before we start
Full-time and law firm figures are Singapore market rates, not our pricing. Your capped number depends on volume: you get it in writing after the free call, before any work starts.

How it starts
No onboarding project, no discovery phase billed by the hour. One call, one written number, one start date.
Fifteen minutes with the senior lawyer, not a sales rep. Bring the licensing deal or the clone that worries you most and leave with a straight answer, whether you hire us or not.
We map your IP, contracts, licensing and content compliance into a written mandate with a capped monthly fee. You see the number before you commit to anything.
Daniel joins your channels, your team gets the app, and the chain-of-title and contract backlog gets cleared first. Legal answers now arrive in hours, not weeks.
No retainers, no lock-in: the mandate renews monthly and you can stop any month.
