Startup Legal Advisor | Legal Tech & AI Enthusiast

About

I’m a commerce graduate turned lawyer, working closely with startups and founders on the legal side of building and scaling businesses. I advise early-stage and growth-stage companies on contracts, term sheets, founder arrangements, ESOPs, commercial negotiations, and day-to-day legal structuring. I also handle due diligence, transactional documentation, and ongoing advisory so founders can focus on execution without legal blind spots. Alongside advisory work, I appear in commercial and civil disputes — from recovery matters and shareholder conflicts to contract enforcement and strategic litigation. My approach is simple: practical advice, clear drafting, and strong representation when things get contested. I work with businesses that want their legal foundations right from day one — and are serious about growth.
