It is best to focus on the sphere. If you previously worked in a bank, then it will be easier for you in a company that creates products for banks.

For example, I had previously worked in a construction company and knew the entire process, understood the problems of developers. In addition, my previous employer used the service of my current company. Therefore, when I started working here, it was easier than if I had come to an IT company whose products I had no idea about.

Once you have decided on the area, you need to check on the websites of the Ministry of Digital Development and the Federal Tax Service what the company is: how long it has been in content writing service existence, what is its revenue, what are the reviews, who is the founder. For example, if the founder is a foreign person, the company will not be able to get into the register of domestic software.




ABOUT PROGRAMMING AGAIN
If a lawyer does not know the IT product, his role in the company is nominal. To avoid this, you need to understand the basics of software. There are several schools that provide such training. The lectures explain what software is, what programming languages ​​there are, what types of code there are, what is transferred from the contractor to the customer, and what exactly is protected by law when concluding a contract. You will also learn what IT activities are from the point of view of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, what to pay attention to when custom development and hiring developers.

I recommend keeping a dictionary of terms, because IT specialists speak their own language.

If you don't understand it, your work will be slow and unproductive.

REGULATION OF ACTIVITIES
To understand the structure of an IT company, you need to study all the documents that belong to it: work regulations, internal local regulations, job descriptions, regulations on commercial secrets and personal data. If these documents contain general phrases, you should not believe them. You need to contact the manager so that he can explain how everything is actually arranged and what specifically needs to be improved.

Next, you need to find out the status of the IT company, what registers it is or may be a part of, what grants and tax benefits it claims, and on the basis of what agreement and what license it sells the product.

The next step is to understand whether the rights to the result of intellectual activity are registered within the company and whether there is a registered trademark. If not, then the rights must be registered with Rospatent. It is not necessary to have a trademark, but it gives the company status.

Then it is worth studying the competitors. Who owns the company, what documents are publicly available, what is written in them. As a rule, correctly executed documents indicate the entire process: what the performer does, what the user does, how they interact with each other, what risks and responsibilities there may be.

It is also worth studying in more detail the laws and regulations governing the IT sphere. This is Part 4 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, the Tax Code, decrees of the Government of the Russian Federation and orders of the Ministry of Digital Development.
