About
I spent several years as the only lawyer inside a technology company, figuring out what the business needed and making it work. I negotiated commercial deals, built privacy programs, and helped product teams ship without unnecessary legal friction. It was demanding, but it taught me something most law firm experience doesn't: what it actually feels like to be on the business side of a legal problem. That's what I bring to my clients now. I work with startups and growing tech companies on contracts, privacy, AI governance, and general corporate matters, the stuff that keeps founders up at night but doesn't always justify a full-time hire. I try to make legal feel less like a cost center and more like something that actually helps the business move. If any of that sounds like what you've been looking for, I'd love to connect.
