How do I know if this is a good fit?

You run a B2B SaaS or AI company. My playbooks, templates, and AI tooling are built for this market. I've negotiated these deals hundreds of times.

Your company coordinates in Slack. That's where I embed — and where my AI automations deliver fastest.

You need practical contract support. Vendor and customer contracts are the core work. Product/privacy and outside-GC support are available when they connect to the deal work.

You need specialized litigation, regulatory, tax, or M&A advice. Not what I do — but I'll connect you with the right specialist.

What does "lives in your Slack" actually mean?
I join your Slack workspace as an external collaborator in only the channels you designate — usually a #legal channel and deal-specific channels. You can keep access as narrow as you want. I work in-thread so decisions, context, and follow-ups are captured and searchable. Target response times on Slack are based on your commitment tier — from same-day at Core to 1-hour at Outside GC, during business hours and subject to matter scope.
What legal work do you cover?
Core work: vendor contracts, customer contracts, DPAs, order forms, AI terms, renewal language, and negotiation support. Adjacent support can include product/privacy questions, contractor agreements, IP questions tied to commercial agreements, and outside-GC work. If something falls outside my expertise — specialized regulatory, litigation, tax — I tap my network of BigLaw partners and manage the relationship for you.
How fast is turnaround?
It depends on matter scope and commitment tier. Most triage reviews target 48-hour turnaround after conflicts clear and documents are in. Monthly-support clients get priority response times based on commitment tier. All target response times are during business hours, PT. See full tier details →
How does pricing work?
Two options: scoped per-deal pricing with no commitment, or a fractional GC commitment (monthly floor applied against discounted menu prices with priority access). Simple triage starts at $500; heavier redlines and negotiations are scoped separately. See full pricing details →
What do you mean by "the knowledge base compounds"?
Every answer, redline, and decision I make for your company gets captured in a structured, auditable knowledge base. Over time, this means faster answers (I've already addressed a similar question), more consistency (same position across all your contracts), and a real institutional memory that doesn't walk out the door.
What metrics do you track?
Time-to-answer, contract cycle time, and client satisfaction — visible to both sides in real time. Traditional legal has never offered this kind of transparency. You'll always know whether the service is working.
How does AI fit in?
I use AI for first-pass contract review, clause extraction, playbook application, redline drafting, issue spotting, deadline tracking, and knowledge-base capture. It helps me move faster and keep better context across matters. AI does not replace legal judgment — I review client-facing work and remain responsible for the advice. I also don't put client confidential information into AI tools that lack appropriate confidentiality, security, and data-use protections, and if a client has AI-use restrictions, I follow them.
Can I start with one deal and upgrade later?
Yes. Send one contract, get a scoped quote, and decide from there. If you like the work, you can scope more deals or move to monthly support. No pressure either way. Start with one deal →
What's it like to actually work with you?
Fast, excellent, and — I hope — actually enjoyable. I take the work seriously, not myself. You'll get substantive advice, a straight answer when I think you're wrong, and a lawyer who doesn't make every interaction feel like billing.
Who are you, specifically?
I was the first lawyer at Discord (VP Legal), Grammarly (Head of Legal, built the team to 11), Pilot (GC), and BioRender (Head of Legal). Before that: Dropbox product/privacy and commercial counsel, Kirkland & Ellis IP transactions, a Ninth Circuit clerkship, Williams & Connolly litigation, and NYU Law magna cum laude. Before law, I was a software developer at IBM. I write about legal and AI here.
