Ashlesha S.
Fractional GC | AI, SaaS, Startup Lawyer | Commercial + Privacy Law
Hi I am Ashlesha, an AI, tech, SaaS, Startup, and Corporate lawyer helping founders and firms with commercial contracts, fundraising documentation, and privacy compliance across 4+ jurisdictions. Top Rated on Upwork with a 100% Job Success Score. I help founders and companies move faster without cutting legal corners. When you work with me, you will always get contracts that protect you without slowing down the deals, fundraising docs that hold up in diligence, and privacy compliance that's actually built for how your product works. WHERE I ADD VALUE: Commercial contracts: MSAs, SLAs, NDAs, licensing, vendor and enterprise agreements that are in plain readable English and close deals instead of stalling them; Startup Documents: Shareholdee agreements, founder/shareholder agreements, equity, and IP assignment that holds up in the long run. Privacy & AI compliance: Tailored privacy notices, Terms of Service, EULA, UGC policy, and AI policy that are compliant with regulations such as GDPR, DPDP Act (India), and CCPA. Consent flows, consent forms, and complaint data practices customised and built into your product, and not a template that misses half the plot; Tech Vertical: SaaS agreements, IP assignments, cloud agreements, transfer of technology agreements, technology licensing agreements, software and application development agreements. Creator & brand deals: Sponsorships, content licensing, deliverables and payment terms, and trademark support drafted for how talent-led businesses actually operate; Cross-border Specialization: India-US-UK deals, with Indian law capability in-house. Deep knowledge of UK law, and US Federal Law. HOW WE WOULD WORK TOGETHER I start with scoping what you actually need. For one-off projects, I give you a fixed timeline upfront. For retainer work, we set a regular check-in cadence. You will hear from me proactively, not just when you ask. WE WILL BE A GOOD FIT IF: 1. You are an early-to-growth-stage tech, AI, SaaS, or creator/brand business 2. A company looking for great transactional and compliance legal support 3. A law-firm/independent lawyer looking for drafting, review, or Indian-desk support Send me what you are working on, whether it be a contract that needs a look, or just a note on what stage you are at, and I will tell you honestly whether I am the right fit!
