Zohaib A.
Contract Lawyer | NDAs, SaaS, Founder & Shareholder Agreements
I draft commercial contracts that close the gaps before they cost you money. NDAs, founder and shareholder agreements, SaaS terms, employment and vendor contracts, cross-border commercial deals — the documents that actually decide outcomes when something goes wrong. I'm a qualified lawyer with district-court litigation experience and arbitration credentials through Young ICCA, Young ITA, and CIArb, including contribution to a USAID-funded project aligning Pakistani trade dispute legislation with international arbitration standards. That background shapes how I draft: every clause is built with an eye on how it holds up if it's ever tested — not just how it reads on signing day. ━━━ CONTRACTS & COMMERCIAL AGREEMENTS ━━━ What changes the outcome isn't the template. It's catching the indemnification gap, the IP ownership ambiguity, the termination clause weakness, the governing-law conflict — before the document becomes a dispute. I draft and review: → NDAs, confidentiality, and IP assignment agreements → Founder, partnership, and shareholder agreements → Employment, independent contractor, and consulting contracts → Service, vendor, and SaaS/MSA agreements (multi-exhibit packages included) → Terms of Service and Privacy Policies (GDPR / CCPA compliant) → Operating agreements and corporate governance documents → Commercial leases and real estate contracts → Cross-border and multi-jurisdictional commercial agreements → MOUs, LOIs, demand letters, cease and desist notices Recent work includes a four-exhibit multi-jurisdictional SaaS Master Service Agreement, a cross-border M&A issues list, and the Arabic-language governing version of a Kuwait/Wyoming solar-energy engineering agreement. Every document is built for your specific jurisdiction, business structure, and risk profile — not pulled from a template library. Every clause is explained in plain language: you'll know what each provision does, why it's there, and what triggers it. ━━━ US & UK IMMIGRATION (SECONDARY PRACTICE) ━━━ I also handle US and UK visa matters — H-1B, O-1, EB-1/EB-2 NIW, and UK Skilled Worker/Global Talent routes — most often for founders and teams I'm already drafting contracts for who need to move people across borders too. ━━━ HOW I WORK ━━━ → Fast response — usually within hours, not days → Focused intake — I ask the right questions upfront so the first draft lands close to final → Every clause and document choice explained in plain language → Revision-ready until you're fully satisfied If you're looking for the cheapest template provider, I'm not the right fit. If you want a lawyer who treats your contract exposure as seriously as you do — send the details, and I'll come back with a clear scope.
