Question about works done for ex company

squeakybadger

Hi, Just wondering on the legal standpoint of using images and other works created when under employment of an ex company. The company in question has now gone into administration, but has a new trading name. Do these assets no longer belong to them? And could I use them to promote myself? Thanks for any info.

Images and other material created whilst in the employment of a company still belong to it, whether in administration or not.

You cannot legally use them

I have a good relationship with my former employer and if I felt they could help me with something like this I would ask them. If however you plan not to consult them and go behind their back, then no the images cannot be used as AWinner says.

I don't know what type of images you are looking for, but you may be able to get similar images at low or no cost from image sites on the net.
