IT project lawyer: staff or outsourcing?

There is a project (website and 2 mobile applications) - adaptive wallpapers for any device. There is a lot of content, and it is constantly updated. We cooperate with different artists (including foreign ones), licenses for images are different (from CC0 onwards).
The question arose about hiring a lawyer. Tell me, which option would be more budgetary, but would be effective in terms of competently resolving issues: a full-time lawyer or would it be easier to take legal support in some office? There are many questions, for example:
- creating your own license for an image
- developing user agreements with artists and users
- legal use of algorithms (waifu, for example)
- issuing cooperation agreements with foreign organizations.

- creation of your own license for the image
- development of user agreements with artists and users
- legal use of algorithms (waifu, for example)
- registration of cooperation agreements with foreign organizations.

There is a lot of money - take it permanently.
Beat bucks.
How much work is here? For a month?
Or do you have foreign partner organizations appearing in batches every day?

If there is an office nearby that rents a lawyer rummaging in digital law, then outsourcing, and if not, then the conclusion is obvious

The answer has nothing to do with IT and is within the competence of any manager :)
If you are able to ensure a constant workload of a lawyer at full time - take it for full time, if full time work is not enough - then outsourcer. (Well, more options for full time - the management wants to show off the presence of a lawyer in the state ...)

There is no universal answer. I think that a competent lawyer is more important, and only then choose a budget option
. I would advise you to decide on the mandatory requirements.
If spoken English is among the requirements, then this cuts off two-thirds, or even more.
I suppose spoken English is needed in order to negotiate with foreign customers and "different artists", then ask the law firms if they have such an option.
And if you want a law firm, ask if a certain lawyer will be fixed or if someone will be free to work.
Decide on the download, as advised. With tasks. Not only do you own copyright, but you also have international, currency, and personal data laws. Negotiable, of course. Probably, if you hire a lawyer, it is logical that the rest of the legal. he can solve questions. Decide on these questions.
Otherwise, you will hire a lawyer, and then he will answer that he does nothing but licenses.
With such inputs, in principle, it is not easy to find a competent lawyer, let alone a budget one ...
