Teraine O.
NY Attorney, LSE LL.M | Commercial Contracts, SaaS, Cross-Border Deals
New York attorney (LL.M, London School of Economics) who has drafted and closed commercial agreements worth over $250 million. Now available for fixed-scope contract drafting, review and negotiation for SaaS companies, founders and businesses working across borders. WHAT I DO Technology and SaaS contracts: Terms of Service, Privacy Policies, Data Processing Agreements, Master Service Agreements, SLAs, EULAs and subscription agreements built so your sales cycle moves faster and your liability stays capped. Commercial and cross-border transactions: supply and offtake agreements, distribution and agency agreements, joint venture agreements, consultancy and vendor agreements, term sheets and commitment letters, drafted to hold up across US, UK and African jurisdictions. Corporate, finance and compliance: entity formation, bylaws and stockholder agreements, guaranties and structured finance documents, private equity documents, M&A due diligence, and ESG and regulatory compliance memoranda. HOW I WORK A fixed quote agreed before work starts, so there is no hourly meter running. A written step-by-step plan so you know what happens and when. Redlines with margin explanations a non-lawyer can follow, so you can decide without a second call to a lawyer. Two revision rounds included. A response within one business day. Available across US, UK and Africa time zones. PROOF Led negotiation and drafting of a series of cross-border commodity purchase agreements with a combined value over $250 million, and counseled on the related structured commodity finance as outside general counsel to a Swiss energy joint venture. Built contract templates and playbooks that cut contract review turnaround by 35 to 40 percent. Filed public comments with the SEC on its climate-related disclosure rule (File No. S7-10-22). Published analysis of the SEC's finalized climate risk disclosure rule on the NYSBA Environmental and Energy Law Section blog. Certificate of Achievement from the Energy Law Academy of the Energy Bar Association. Legal AI Certification, Clio (2026). WHO THIS IS FOR Founders, SaaS companies and businesses doing cross-border deals who want their contracts drafted, reviewed or negotiated to a fixed scope by a New York-licensed attorney. My practice is transactional and advisory only; I do not handle litigation or disputes. Send the document, or a two-line description of the deal, and I will reply with a fixed quote and a plan.
