Every client who is considering offshore software development should be concerned about the legal issues associated with doing international business.
Software outsourcing, however, is unique in that it's not as easy as it may seem for a vendor to simply steal your idea and execute it. So, in many cases this concern is unfounded although there are many legitimate cases where a client should worry.
Intellectual properly in general, however, is a different story. It's not difficult at all for an overseas vendor to take liberties with your codebase, including 'hard to know' things like reuse of portions of your codebase for other clients. In these cases, your go-to mentality may be to 'lawyer up' and get your contracts organized well to protect yourself from potential issues.
This mentality, however, rarely works unless you are a large client with millions of dollars of development services being outsourced. For most clients, the potential costs and headaches associated with making a legal claim overseas far outweigh the value of the actual work.
In those cases, the best approach is to find a vendor you can trust, and invest in the relationship enough to maintain that trust long-term.
