Bakhtawar A.
Barrister & Litigation Specialist | Contracts, Compliance, Pleadings
Hi, I'm Bakhtawar. I'm a qualified lawyer and disputes + contracts specialist, with international training and a practical approach to solving legal problems. My work focuses on helping individuals, startups, and growing businesses stay protected, whether that means drafting solid contracts, resolving disputes, or navigating cross-border legal requirements. I’ve advised clients across the UK, US, and EU, on a wide range of matters, from commercial agreements and compliance to court pleadings and estate disputes. My aim is always the same: deliver clear, strategic legal work that aligns with your goals and saves you from unnecessary risk or cost. Clients come to me when they want more than just a legal document, they want a lawyer who understands business, explains things clearly, and gets the work done on time. Here's what I deliver: - Contracts & Commercial Agreements: Drafting, reviewing, or negotiating NDAs, service contracts, SaaS agreements, licensing terms, and partnership deals. - Startups & Corporate Law: Founder agreements, cap tables, early-stage funding support (SAFE/convertibles), and corporate structuring. - Litigation & Dispute Support: Legal research, drafting pleadings, analyzing claims, preparing submissions, and assisting with civil or estate-related disputes. - GDPR & Data Privacy Compliance: Privacy policies, DPAs, cookie notices, internal procedures, and compliance reviews tailored for tech and services businesses. - Employment & HR Documents: Offer letters, employment contracts, policy handbooks, and workplace compliance documents.
