Sheharyar A.

Contract Lawyer | SaaS, NDA & Commercial Agreements | AU UK US

Your contracts should protect you before problems start, not after. I'm a legal professional with 244+ completed Upwork projects (Top Rated Plus, 100% Job Success) helping startups, SaaS companies, agencies, and established businesses get watertight legal documents without law-firm overhead. What I draft, review, and negotiate: • Commercial contracts, service agreements, MSAs, supply and distribution agreements • SaaS agreements, software licences, and EULAs • Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policies (GDPR, UK GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, Australian Privacy Act, PIPEDA-aware) • NDAs, independent contractor agreements, and employment contracts • Shareholders' agreements, partnership agreements, and founder documents • Legal research, compliance reviews, and plain-English contract summaries Jurisdictions: I'm based in Melbourne and work daily with clients in Australia, the UK, the US, and Canada. I draft to the standards of your jurisdiction and flag anything that needs local counsel sign-off you'll never get a template that ignores where you actually do business. How I work: You tell me what the document needs to achieve commercially. I draft or mark up in tracked changes with plain-English comments explaining every material clause. You get a document you actually understand plus a short summary of the risks I've covered and the decisions that are yours to make. Most drafting projects are delivered within 2–4 business days. Reviews of standard-length contracts within 48 hours. Recent client outcomes: (replace with your real examples) • Rewrote a SaaS company's MSA and DPA ahead of an enterprise deal contract signed within the client's quarter. • Restructured an agency's contractor agreements to reduce misclassification exposure across 30+ contractors. • Drafted a shareholders' agreement that resolved a deadlock mechanism dispute before it reached litigation. If you need a contract drafted, reviewed, or fixed or you're not sure what you need send me a message with a sentence or two about your situation. I'll tell you honestly what's required and what it will cost.
