Commercial Contracts Lawyer | Startups, SaaS, IP & Data Privacy

External Legal Counsel | Contract Lifecycle, Digital Compliance & India Disputes I help startups, SaaS companies and growing businesses turn commercial arrangements into clear, workable contracts and legal frameworks. I am a New Delhi-based, India-qualified Advocate, enrolled with the Bar Council of Delhi since 2019, and work with Indian and international clients. My support can begin with a first draft or the review of counterparty paper and continue through risk identification, practical redlines, negotiation, finalisation and execution. My dispute-resolution experience also informs how I draft, particularly around scope, payment, acceptance, liability, IP ownership, confidentiality, termination, remedies and enforcement. Selected experience includes: • Serving for six months as external legal counsel to a Canadian consumer-technology company, supporting its commercial agreements, master supply and manufacturing arrangement, and website legal infrastructure. • Preparing a complete launch-document suite for an in-app feedback SaaS platform, including its Terms of Use, Privacy Policy, Data Processing Agreement, Cookie Policy and SDK Licence/EULA. • Preparing founder equity, vesting, board-consent and IP-assignment documentation for a Delaware-incorporated AI hardware and software startup. • Supporting international clients on India-facing commercial disputes and enforcement issues, including formal notices, engagement with Indian counterparties, settlement and recovery strategy, and assessing whether proceedings in India are legally viable and commercially worthwhile. • Drafting and reviewing service, vendor, employment, referral, finder and IP arrangements, together with legal opinions, notices and dispute documents. I can assist with: • Commercial contracts: MSAs, SOWs, service agreements, vendor and supply agreements, manufacturing agreements, independent contractor and employment contracts, NDAs, MoUs, LOIs and licensing agreements. • Startup and corporate documents: founders’ agreements, shareholder and subscription agreements, share or asset purchase agreements, founder equity, vesting and IP assignments. • SaaS and online business documents: Terms of Use or Service, Privacy and Cookie Policies, DPAs, EULAs and SDK licences, platform terms, and e-commerce, affiliate and influencer agreements. • Contract lifecycle support: risk review, practical redlining, negotiation support, contract summaries, amendments, renewals, termination, finalisation and execution. • India-facing advisory and dispute resolution: legal opinions, formal notices, engagement with Indian counterparties, settlement and recovery strategy, enforcement assessment, pleadings, and representation before Indian courts and tribunals. For ongoing requirements, I can work as external or fractional legal counsel rather than only on isolated documents. For a defined project, send me the draft or a short summary of the arrangement. If you first need a focused assessment, you can book a paid consultation call directly through my Upwork profile. As a Top Rated freelancer, I offer consultations for contracts, commercial disputes and India-facing legal issues, with the aim of giving you practical options and a clear next-step strategy.
