Before your offshore team writes a single line of code, make sure these agreements are in place. A guide for CTOs and legal teams.
01.The IP Question Every CTO Asks
When engineering leaders consider offshore hiring, one question surfaces before almost any other: 'What happens to our IP?' With the right legal framework in place before work begins, the answer is clean: your IP is yours.
02.The Core Document Stack
Every offshore engagement should be governed by three layers: a Master Services Agreement (MSA) between your company and the staffing partner, individual employment agreements with IP assignment clauses, and NDAs signed by each individual.
03.Practical Operational Controls
Legal documentation is necessary but not sufficient. Pair it with device management, access controls, audit logging, and clear offboarding procedures. At UpTye, we handle all of this as part of our managed service.
