Imagine closing a major enterprise deal or securing a VC funding round, only to watch the entire transaction stall because of a poorly drafted IP clause, an amateur software contract, or critical non-compliance with data protection regulations. In the high-stakes tech ecosystem, you either secure your legal infrastructure early or risk losing valuable commercial momentum to more agile competitors. Most tech founders view legal compliance as a pure cost centre, a defensive tax they have to pay to keep the lights on. They are used to traditional law firms that treat every contract review like a multi-week academic research project, stalling sales cycles, bloating billable hours and killing sales velocity. I don't look at law as a cost centre. I see compliance as an active engine for unlocking revenue. --- HOW I ASSIST YOU IN SCALING YOUR STARTUP ✅Corporate & Commercial Support: Reviewing, drafting and redlining custom B2B SaaS agreements, contracts, Master Services Agreements (MSAs), End User Licence Agreements (EULAs) and vendor Service Level Agreements (SLAs). ✅Intellectual Property & IP Advisory: Safeguarding your proprietary code, machine learning inputs, algorithms and brand assets. I provide strategic IP advisory alongside NDAs, software licensing frameworks and IP assignment clauses designed to protect what you build. ✅Cross-Border Data Protection & Compliance: Designing clear, compliance-ready Privacy Policies, Terms of Service and Data Processing Agreements (DPAs) aligned with GDPR, NDP Act and applicable international privacy requirements. I also provide cross-border data protection advisory to help businesses navigate international data transfers without unnecessary complexity. ✅AI Governance & Impact Assessments: Future-proofing your software deployments and machine learning systems against fast-moving global regulations. I conduct practical AI Impact Assessments and help align operational infrastructure with international frameworks, including the EU AI Act and NIST AI Risk Management Framework. ✅Fractional Head of Legal Support: Acting as your on-demand corporate legal advisor to handle vendor redlines, regulatory questions, compliance matters and internal corporate documentation, without the cost of building an in-house legal team. --- WHY VENTURE-BACKED STARTUPS & TECH FOUNDERS HIRE ME I bring a rare hybrid background that combines corporate legal expertise with real-world business communication experience. ✅The Legal Edge: I graduated with First-Class Honours from the Nigerian Law School and went on to practise at a leading corporate and commercial law firm, working across corporate, regulatory, technology, data protection and commercial matters involving technology and digital financial services businesses. ✅The Tech Communications Edge: I also have 3+ years of specialised copywriting and content writing experience right here on Upwork translating complex technical and legal concepts into high-converting copy and content strategy for B2B technology and FinTech brands. That combination means I don't just understand the law. I understand the business you're trying to build with it. --- READY TO ACCELERATE YOUR GROWTH? Let's stop treating legal compliance like an obstacle and start using it as part of your startup's competitive advantage. If you're building a SaaS, FinTech or technology business and need legal support that understands contracts, IP, data, regulation and commercial growth, send me an invite. Let's clear the legal bottlenecks so your team can focus on building.
