When publishing work online, as part of a portfolio/self advertising, of artwork/design/concepts, which were created whilst employed at a previous company/firm, is there an official way to construct a disclaimer/copyright so viewers(or anyone) is aware of ownership and who distributed it etc?

I'm assuming I still need some form of copyright cover to display it even though I'm the author?
Can the disclaimer cover examples of work that were created in a collaborative environment... Say a team?

To give you some scope, I'm in the process of making an online portfolio and under each image, I figured I'd need some form of protection for the image, me as an author/creator, the company I worked for and the owner/client of the works...

Anyway, this is what I've written so far:

Disclaimer:
Piece shown as part of my online portfolio of past works.
I am the original author but the image was created/distributed whilst employed at a previously company.
The image's ownership is that of whom contracted said company to create the drawing.

Thanks in advance for your help.

What is the name of your state, reanimation?

Oops, I'm actually in England, UK.
Oops. This site handles U.S. law questions only, reanimation.

Although copyright laws are similar in many ways between our countries, there are also enough differences that you would need to seek out help with your questions and concerns in the U.K.

Good luck.
