Jasjit G.
Barrister & Fractional General Counsel | FinTech, SaaS, M&A
Fractional GC for fintech, prop trading, SaaS and M&A businesses. UK barrister, 35 years, 170+ Upwork projects, 100% success. I run your legal function. What a Fractional GC Actually Does Most founders don't need a law firm. They need one senior lawyer who already knows the business, answers the same day, and owns the legal work from first draft to signature: · Contract flow - customer terms, supplier agreements, NDAs, SOWs, reseller and affiliate deals, all running off one playbook so your team stops asking me the same question twice · Regulatory perimeter - where your model sits, what you can say in marketing, what your payment partners will accept before they onboard you · Fundraising and equity- SAFEs, convertibles, term sheets, ESOPs, cap tables, board papers · Data and platform - privacy policies, DPAs, GDPR and CCPA, marketplace and user terms · Escalations - disputes, chargebacks, regulator correspondence, and knowing when to bring in local counsel and how to keep their bill down You get a general counsel's judgement without a general counsel's salary. Where I am sharpest: Prop Trading and Fintech I act as legal manager for a fintech group building software and services for prop firms. Challenge models are my daily work, so I already know the arguments: · Challenge and funded-trader agreements that hold up in front of a PSP, an acquirer, or an angry customer · Payout, refund and breach terms written so your support team can apply them without ringing a lawyer · The perimeter question — simulated trading, marketing claims, and the point where a "challenge" starts to look like something regulated · Multi-entity structures, IP ownership between group companies, white-label and licensing terms If you sell to traders, I have probably already argued about the clause that is worrying you. Track Record I led legal due diligence on a $66 million oil field acquisition in China. One finding could have killed it. We used the finding as leverage and the deal closed. Before consulting I spent eight years in investment banking on IPOs and M&A, sat as Executive Director, Legal Counsel and Company Secretary of a Hong Kong listed company, ran restructurings at RHB Investment Bank, and founded and sold businesses on three continents. So I have sat on your side of the table. I know you want protection and you also want the thing signed this quarter. How I Work · Fractional GC Retainer — an agreed block of hours each month, priority turnaround, one named lawyer who holds the context. Best value if legal work keeps landing on your desk. From $X per month. · Project Counsel — one transaction or one build, start to finish, fixed fee. · Single Document — drafted or reviewed on a fixed fee. First draft in three to five days, often inside 72 hours. I prefer fixed fees. You get cost certainty, I get room to do the job properly, and neither of us is watching a clock. Every document is written and checked by me, line by line, in plain English. A contract your sales team cannot read is a contract they will not follow.
