I work primarily as fractional GC for startups and SMEs. I love supporting passionate founders who are creating and offering inventive solutions to modern societal problems, particularly if these solutions give more than what they extract from the earth and humans. In my daily practice, I work on a variety of things, such as helping structure and form new companies, drafting or redlining contracts, researching and advising on compliance issues, advising on potential disputes, and helping founders navigate their path forward, both legally and operationally.
I've worked as corporate/commercial counsel for ten years, advising startups, individuals, and SMEs. I've drafted, negotiated, and revised countless commercial transactions for numerous industries within the US and internationally, as well as advised businesses on mitigating legal risk in their ventures. I was the first in-house counsel for lean TX-based multinational operating in the Middle East. Experienced with negotiating, drafting, and revising a large variety of domestic and international commercial contracts covering numerous transactions and industries (tech, data privacy, licensing/IP, employment, consulting, traditional and clean energy, construction, manufacturing, distribution, sales, joint ventures, VC, engineering, etc.); creating templates for legal libraries; forming and dissolving entities; advising on legal structure; researching and advising on compliance issues and legal risk mitigation; managing corporate governance; and overseeing outside counsel for litigation.
