How I Can Help

I work with founders and leadership teams who need senior legal judgment, not another layer of process.

My role is to act as an embedded General Counsel—providing clarity, continuity, and practical decision-making as the business scales.

Contract Backlogs

  • Contract Drafting: creating and refining revenue-critical agreements that protect business interests.
  • Backlog Resolution: systematically clearing accumulated contracts that slow down operations.
  • Template Development: building standardized agreements to accelerate future deals.

Board, Financing, or Governance Work

  • Board Materials: preparing meeting agendas, resolutions, and governance documentation.
  • Financing Documents: coordinating term sheets, investor agreements, and closing materials.
  • Governance Policies: developing board procedures and corporate governance frameworks.

Strategic Partnerships or Investor Matters

  • Partnership Negotiations: structure strategic engagements and partnerships.
  • Investor Relations: managing communications and documentation for funding rounds.
  • Due Diligence: organizing materials and addressing investor questions during fundraising.

Outside Counsel Management and Spend Control

  • Firm Selection: identifying and vetting specialized attorneys for specific matters.
  • Budget Management: tracking legal expenses and ensuring cost-effective resource allocation.
  • Workflow Coordination: managing multiple outside counsel relationships to avoid redundancy.

How engagements typically start

Most relationships begin small and expand over time:

  • Initial support: targeted guidance, quick judgment calls, or discrete projects
  • Ongoing coverage: regular involvement as a fractional member of the team
  • Deeper partnership: trusted advisor across legal, strategic, and investor-facing work

The goal is flexibility—the right level of support at the right moment, without unnecessary complexity.

When I'm not the right fit

This model isn't designed for everything—and that's intentional. I'm likely not the right fit if you're looking for:

  • Litigation or dispute handling
  • Court appearances or personal legal matters
  • High-volume, one-off document drafting
  • Emergency, reactive legal work without context
  • Compliance-heavy, highly regulated legal programs

In those cases, I'm happy to help you find the right specialist or firm.
