Experienced U.S & U.K Lawyer -PhD, CIPP/E. Privacy, GDPR, Contract, IP
General Counsel | Commercial & Technology Lawyer | SaaS, AI & Data Protection I am a UK and New York qualified commercial lawyer with over 12 years of experience advising businesses on commercial contracts, technology transactions, data protection and general corporate legal matters. I am also CIPP/E qualified and hold a PhD in Commercial Technology Law. I work with start-ups, growing businesses and established companies that need practical legal support without the cost or commitment of a full-time in-house legal team. My main areas of experience include: Commercial contracts and contract negotiation SaaS, cloud and technology agreements MSAs, SOWs, DPAs, NDAs, EULAs and licensing agreements AI-related commercial and technology agreements GDPR and data protection Privacy policies, Terms of Use and Terms and Conditions International data transfers, including SCCs and UK IDTAs Supplier, customer and partnership agreements Employment and consultancy agreements General commercial and corporate legal support Contract reviews, risk assessment and negotiations I have extensive experience working on complex commercial technology transactions involving UK, European, US and international businesses. I focus on identifying the issues that matter commercially, explaining them in plain English and helping clients reach a practical solution. I also have particular experience advising businesses on GDPR and data protection matters, supported by my CIPP/E qualification and academic research in commercial technology law. My approach is straightforward. I do not simply identify problems in a contract. I explain what the issue means for your business, what I would change, and why, and then help you get the document into a position where you can use it confidently. Whether you need a contract drafted from scratch, an existing agreement reviewed before signing, help negotiating with a customer or supplier, or ongoing general counsel support, I can provide commercially focused legal assistance remotely and to tight deadlines. I hold a PhD in Commercial Technology Law and an LLM in Commercial and Corporate Law, in addition to my professional qualifications in England & Wales, New York and Nigeria.
