We help clients give new business assets a cleaner legal foundation.

Local Planning Notes
Mount Pleasant IP planning should protect new brands, online account control, founder materials, and vendor-created work.
Founder and family help should be documented
If relatives, friends, or early collaborators create logos, websites, photos, code, or pitch materials, ownership should be clear.
Vendor access should not equal vendor control
Domains, hosting, ad accounts, social pages, booking tools, and design files should remain accessible to the business.

Common Questions
Intellectual property questions Mount Pleasant clients often ask.
Should a Mount Pleasant startup protect its name before launching?
It is often wise to review searches, distinctiveness, domains, social handles, use plans, and registration options before launch costs rise.
Does a business own a website if it paid a developer?
Not automatically. The development agreement, licence terms, source file rights, platform access, and assignment language should be reviewed.
Can a business idea be protected by an NDA?
An NDA may help protect confidential information, but ideas alone are difficult to protect and the facts matter.
