On-Retainer Legal Counsel | Contracts & Data Privacy| 6+ yrs

I'm a corporate, employment & data privacy lawyer with 6+ years of experience and 90+ clients served, and I work best as the legal partner a young business keeps on retainer not the person they scramble to find every time something needs a signature. What I handle day-to-day: #Contracts & commercial agreements- MSAs, SOWs, vendor agreements, NDAs, SaaS agreements, partnership & founder agreements. #Employment- offer letters, employment agreements, contractor agreements, EOR-related documentation #Data privacy & compliance- privacy policies, DPAs, GDPR/data protection compliance reviews, internal data-handling policies #General legal advisory- day-to-day contract questions, risk flags before you sign anything, vendor/client negotiation support Why retainer, not one-off: Most legal problems for a growing company aren't one big project, they're a steady stream of smaller ones: a vendor contract here, a new hire there, a privacy question before a product launch. On a retainer, I become the person you loop in before something becomes a problem, not after. You get: *A lawyer who already knows your business, your risk tolerance, and your past agreements- no re-briefing every time. *Predictable turnaround on contracts and quick legal questions *Someone available for the small stuff (reviewing a clause, answering "can we sign this?") without a new engagement each time #A bit about how I work: Top Rated on Upwork with a 100% Job Success Score. I'm direct about risk, fast on turnaround, and I write contracts that protect you without slowing your deals down, legal shouldn't be the reason you lose momentum. If you're a founder or ops lead who wants legal handled quietly in the background on retainer, on call, on top of it- let's talk.
