Practice & capabilities
Contracts on both sides of the business.
I help AI and SaaS companies move faster on vendor paper, customer paper, DPAs, order forms, procurement asks, and the legal questions around closing deals.
Vendor contracts
MSAs, DPAs, SaaS terms, AI vendor agreements, enterprise paper, order forms, and practical negotiation positions. See vendor contract work →
Customer and sales contracts
Customer paper, SaaS terms, order forms, DPAs, enterprise procurement processes, negotiation positions, and close support.
Also available when connected to the contract work: product/privacy questions, contractor agreements, outside-GC support, and legal process design.
How we work
AI-native speed. Lawyer-owned judgment.
The model borrows from in-house legal operations: clear priorities, fast triage, reusable playbooks, written advice, and a knowledge base that compounds across matters.
01
Conflict check first
Share party names and a non-confidential matter summary before sending documents. I confirm conflicts and fit before confidential review begins.
02
Written scope and fee
Every matter gets a defined scope, fee structure, and engagement letter so the work and boundaries are clear before legal advice starts.
03
Lawyer-owned, AI-leveraged
First-pass review, clause extraction, and redline drafts run through AI for speed. Final judgment, advice, and accountability run through me.
Thinking
A point of view on how legal work should operate.
These notes pull from years building legal functions inside fast-growing technology companies. They explain the operating philosophy behind Moore Counsel.
Auto-renewals beat liability caps
Most vendor-contract value comes from catching the terms that create waste, delay, or operational burden.
Scale beats heroics
Strong legal functions turn repeat questions into playbooks, FAQs, templates, escalation rules, and systems that make the next matter faster.
Engage
Start with one contract.
Send one vendor or customer contract, get a scoped quote, and decide from there. No retainer, no monthly minimum, no obligation to continue.
