What if my contract has IP or lock-in clauses?

We flag every clause that affects the transfer on day one of the audit. Most engagement contracts assign IP to the client by default; we have not seen a transfer killed by IP yet. If your contract is genuinely restrictive, we tell you what is recoverable, what is not, and whether the recoverable part is worth pursuing. Sometimes the cheapest path is a clean rebuild on the parts you cannot get back.
