Scope & availability
LawAstra can organise factual records and an agreed preparation checklist. Eligibility decisions, tax or legal advice, certification, professional drafting, filing and representation require your separate engagement with the appropriately qualified professional. Government and professional fees are separate.
Know the scope.
Keep control.
Define the output, timing, fees and responsibilities before accepted work begins.
How we workWhat can the support scope cover?
Build a factual index of the work you identify, contributor information, publication references, permissions and existing assignments or licences. Application references and correspondence can be logged where available. This preparation does not establish authorship or ownership, assess infringement, draft legal assignments or promise registration.
Does this confirm that I own the copyright?
No. We can index the records you supply and the questions still open. Your separately engaged counsel assesses authorship, ownership, permissions and legal rights.
Does LawAstra register the work or handle an infringement claim?
This service prepares the factual file. Applications, objections, legal notices and representation require a separate qualified professional engagement.
Can teams with multiple creators use this?
An agreed file can record contributors, source versions and available agreements, while flagging gaps for your professional review.
