Hello, I’m Gulnoza, an international business lawyer helping startups, tech companies, and growing ventures build, structure, and scale across borders with legally sound, practical solutions. I support both early-stage startups and established companies with their legal infrastructure, contract matters, risk governance, and compliance frameworks. My approach is business-oriented: I don’t just draft documents, I help you reduce risk, stay compliant, and operate confidently across jurisdictions. 🔹 What I Help With: Corporate Governance & Legal Operations - Structuring and maintaining corporate records across multiple entities; - Board/shareholder documentation, meeting minutes, governance frameworks; - Internal legal documentation aligned with investor and regulatory expectations; - Ongoing legal ops support for scaling companies.

I served as Head of Legal Operations & Compliance for a Web3 infrastructure company and previously advised numerous blockchain and fintech projects as Senior Legal Counsel at a legal and growth advisory firm focused on crypto and emerging technologies. My academic research is also focused on digital assets and decentralized technologies, including published work on DAO regulation, DeFi regulation, and blockchain governance. 🔹 Experience Snapshot: - Legal & Compliance officer for a FinTech company with global footprint; - Head of Legal Operations & Compliance in a Web3 company (Canada-based, global operations); - International Legal Counsel advising on cross-border transactions and regulatory matters; - Proven legal experience advising emerging technology companies; - Experience supporting clients across North America, Europe, and beyond; - Trusted by international clients for contract structuring and legal documentation; - Experience supporting multi-entity and cross-border businesses; - Background in corporate governance and compliance. 🔹 How I Work ✔ Business-focused, not overly theoretical, practical legal solutions you can actually use ✔ Cross-border mindset, I understand international structures and risks ✔ Clear, structured documentation, no unnecessary complexity ✔ Reliable and detail-oriented, especially critical for governance and compliance work I offer fixed-price packages for contract drafting, startup legal setup, and corporate governance support. 🔹 Important Note I work with international clients and cross-border matters only and do not provide jurisdiction-specific legal advice where local bar admission is required. Instead, I support as international counsel, often collaborating with local lawyers where needed.
