AI-forward fractional general counsel for startups: governance, employment, transactional drafting.
About
AI-forward fractional general counsel for high growth businesses. I help founders move fast on contracts, equity, employment, and AI governance with productized, fixed-scope offerings instead of open-ended hourly bills. I run weekly Legal Office Hours for a community of 900k+ members and 30k+ startup professionals, and write and speak regularly on business law and risk. Ex-Fortune 100.
