01 — Problem

Problem

Three jurisdictions, two sets of creator licences and a codebase assembled over eight years. The buyer’s standard terms treated every creator contribution as a transferable asset; the platform’s own terms said otherwise.

02 — Position

Position

We separated what the company owned from what its community licensed, and built the transaction around that line. Creator terms were treated as a condition of closing rather than a promise made afterwards.

03 — Outcome

Outcome

The acquisition closed with the licence structure intact and a governance clause protecting creator terms for a defined period. Both sides agreed a single plain-language summary for the community.

CASE is a deliberately small practice. Every matter is led by a partner, staffed by a lawyer you will meet, and priced before work begins.
