    I have always had conflicting opinions on a company using works from a previous one without disclosing it — ie. a two years old agency with projects on its portfolio from five or more years ago — but I understand they just combine portfolios from their members.

    That said, even if you were only a worker there, and not having any contract preventing you from using those projects in your portfolio, I don't see any problem.

    As in my first example, I personally would prefer disclosure — ie. your role in each project — but that is just a question of honesty, and not really related to 'ownership'.

    • I agree. I would disclose my role in every project, but i'm finding it tacky to say "i did everything but the tagline and the press releases"lambsy
    • You can just add credit to your former partner on those areas, if you want, only to shut him up; but you can still use the projects anyway.sr_rosa
    • Giving him credit could potentially lead to some prospect clients questioning about that person and why he is no longer part of your team, tho.sr_rosa
