The allure of building transformative app products and disrupting established industries is undeniable for entrepreneurs. However, the very qualities that make app startups agile—small, lean teams, rapid development cycles, and a "move fast and break things" mentality—also increase their exposure to significant litigation risks. These can include:
Intellectual Property Disputes: Allegations of patent or copyright infringement from competitors, especially concerning unique app features or UI/UX.
Contractual Breaches: Issues arising from hastily signed agreements with vendors, partners, or even early users during rapid scaling.
Data Privacy & Compliance Failures: Non-compliance with evolving global data protection regulations (e.g., GDPR, CCPA) crucial for user-facing applications.
Employment & HR Challenges: Employee disputes stemming from a lack of formalized HR policies and infrastructure as the team grows.
