Legal support, built around how your company actually works.

Everything that comes with having a General Counsel inside your company. Commercial, privacy, AI governance, employment, equity, fundraising, and legal operations, led by me with a network of outside counsel and fractional GCs I bring in when you need deeper expertise.

The revenue side of legal. I run enterprise contracting the way a modern GC actually runs it, with playbooks, clear positions, and a bias toward closing.

  • NDAs, MSAs, order forms, and enterprise SaaS agreements
  • API, developer, and platform agreements
  • Partnership, reseller, referral, and channel arrangements
  • Procurement, vendor contracts, and inbound paper reviews
  • Data processing agreements, security addenda, and BAAs
  • Contract playbooks, fallback positions, and negotiation training for your team

I help teams build privacy and AI governance that fits how they actually ship. I have run global privacy programs across the US, Canada, EU, LATAM, and APAC and built frameworks companies can operate without slowing product down. For AI-native and data-heavy businesses, this is the work that unlocks enterprise deals and keeps regulators, auditors, and customers on the same page.

  • Privacy-by-design embedded with product and engineering early on
  • GDPR, CCPA and CPRA, PIPEDA, LGPD, and global privacy compliance programs
  • AI governance frameworks and responsible AI programs, model risk and use case review
  • ISO 42001 and ISO 27701 readiness
  • EU AI Act alignment, high-risk system classification, and transparency obligations
  • Data processing agreements, transfer mechanisms, SCCs, and vendor privacy reviews
  • Data subject rights programs, breach response, and regulator engagement

The people side of the company is where most legal risk actually lives. I partner with founders and People teams so difficult moments are handled well and straightforward ones don't turn into problems.

  • Offer letters, employment agreements, contractor agreements, and IP assignments
  • Handbooks, workplace policies, and manager training
  • Performance management, PIPs, and documented separations
  • Leaves of absence, ADA accommodations, and workplace investigations
  • Wage and hour, classification, and multi-state employment issues
  • Reductions in force, WARN, and severance programs

Corporate housekeeping that pays off the day you raise, sell, or grant equity to a new hire. Clean is faster than clever.

  • Stock option plans, RSU programs, and award agreements
  • Cap table management and Carta or Pulley setup
  • 409A cadence and equity compliance
  • Board consents, minutes, and governance calendar
  • Founder agreements, vesting, and IP assignments
  • Formation, conversion, and state qualification support, coordinated with outside counsel and fractional GC partners

I am not a corporate attorney, but I provide fundraising and M&A due diligence support. For large transactional raises, I coordinate and manage outside counsel so you get senior oversight without the overhead.

  • Data room preparation and legal diligence support
  • SAFE, convertible note, and priced-round documents
  • Investor rights, side letters, and pro rata management
  • M&A and acquisition support, buy and sell side
  • Fundraising readiness diagnostics
  • Post-close integration legal workstreams

The systems, templates, and workflows that make legal feel invisible when it is working. I build these to run without me if you ever bring the function fully in-house.

  • Contract templates and negotiation playbooks
  • CLM selection and rollout, intake, and approval workflows
  • Policy library and internal compliance calendars
  • Vendor management, legal spend, and outside counsel governance
  • Legal team hiring plans and role scoping
  • Metrics, reporting, and executive-ready dashboards

For early-stage companies that need a real legal foundation before the first big deal, first big hire, or first funding conversation.

  • Standard-form templates across sales, procurement, and HR
  • Corporate governance and record-keeping
  • Baseline privacy, security, and AI policies
  • IP protection and confidentiality frameworks
  • Insurance program review coordinated with your broker
  • Founder and team education on what to escalate and when
