Zachary Strebeck

Built by a Game Attorney Who's Seen What Happens When Developers Skip This

Zachary Strebeck, Founding Attorney, Legal Moves Law Firm

I'm a practicing video game attorney who's helped 500+ indie developers navigate the legal maze without breaking the bank. For over a decade, I've specialized exclusively in game industry law, from solo devs to studios shipping on major platforms.

I created Speedrun Legal after watching too many talented developers lose their IP, sign terrible publishing deals, or spend years in legal limbo because they didn't know the basics. This course gives you the legal foundation I wish every developer had before their first major decision.

No Attorney Required*
Handle 80% of legal tasks yourself and know when to hire help for the other 20%. Save thousands on routine legal work.

* For complex situations — multi-party structures, active disputes, publisher negotiations — the course teaches you when to bring in an attorney and exactly what to ask them.

Who This Course Is NOT For

This course is designed for indie developers with straightforward setups. If any of these describe you, you'll need personalized legal counsel instead.

⚠️ Non-U.S. Developers
This course focuses on U.S. law (LLC formation, USPTO trademarks, U.S. Copyright Office). If you're outside the U.S. and not planning to form a U.S. entity, you'll need guidance specific to your jurisdiction.
⚠️ Complex Business Structures
If you need vesting schedules, multiple investor agreements, complex equity arrangements, or multi-entity structures, you need an attorney. Schedule a consultation instead.
⚠️ Prefer Full-Service Legal
If you'd rather hand everything to an attorney and focus solely on game development, that's completely valid. This course is for developers who want to handle routine legal tasks themselves and save money doing it.

What You'll Learn

8 comprehensive modules covering every legal decision you'll face, from day one to publishing deal. No fluff, just the protection you actually need.

Module 1
Business Formation
Learn when and how to form an LLC, choose the right state, understand costs, and maintain your business entity properly.
8 lessons • Step-by-step filing walkthrough
Module 2
Intellectual Property Basics
Master copyright, trademark, patent, and trade secret protection for your games and studio.

Owning Your Game IP

Licensing & Third-Party Content
Navigate open source licenses, music licensing, merchandising deals, and user-generated content safely.
5 lessons • License checklist included

Frequently Asked Questions

What's included in the Contract Generator?
The Contract Generator creates custom contracts on demand: Collaboration Agreements, Mutual & One-Way NDAs, Independent Contractor Agreements, Materials Assignment Agreements, Music License Agreements, and EULAs. Simply fill out a questionnaire, and it generates your customized contract in Word format instantly. We're continuously adding new contract templates. Launch sale includes 1 year free access ($197 value)—after that, it's $197/year if you want to continue using it.
Do I need any legal background to take this course?
No legal background required! This course is specifically designed for indie game developers with no prior legal knowledge. I explain everything in plain English and avoid overwhelming legal jargon.
Is this course only for U.S.-based developers?
This course focuses on U.S. law — LLC formation, USPTO trademarks, and U.S. Copyright Office registration. If you're outside the U.S. and not planning to form a U.S. entity, you'll get limited value from the business formation and filing modules. If you plan to sell in the U.S. or work with U.S. publishers, the modules on contracts and publishing agreements still apply.
How long will it take to complete the course?
The course includes 50+ text-based lessons with video walkthroughs for key filing procedures (LLC formation, trademark and copyright registration, publishing agreement review). Most students complete the core content in a weekend or spread it across 2-3 weeks. You can work at your own pace and revisit modules anytime.
Do I get lifetime access?
Yes! Once you enroll, you have lifetime access to all course materials, including any future updates. As laws change or new modules are added, you'll get them for free.
Is $297 worth it if my game isn't making money yet?
Legal mistakes made early are expensive to unwind later. One bad freelancer contract means you may not own your game's art. One missed LLC means your personal assets are exposed if something goes wrong. A single hour with an attorney runs $350+. The course covers all of it for less than that — before you're in a position where you need a lawyer to fix something that should never have happened.
I'm still in development — is it too early to take this course?
It's actually the ideal time. The best moment to handle legal foundations is before you make major decisions — hiring contractors, registering a trademark, talking to publishers. If you're mid-development, you're in the window where the course does the most good. Many students take it to catch things they already got wrong before they become problems.
What happens after my free year of Contract Generator access?
After your first year, you can renew the Contract Generator for $197/year if you want to continue creating new contracts. You keep lifetime access to the course itself and any contracts you've already generated. If you don't renew, you simply won't be able to generate new contracts (but you still have all your previous ones).
What if I need specific legal advice for my situation?
This course provides educational information, not personalized legal advice. If you need specific legal counsel, I offer one-on-one consultations through my law firm at legalmoveslawfirm.com. Many students take the course first to understand the basics, then schedule a consultation for their specific questions. You can also email us at contact@speedrun.legal.
What's your refund policy?
30-day money-back guarantee, no questions asked. If you're not completely satisfied with the course, just email us at contact@speedrun.legal for a full refund within 30 days of purchase.
