Work with me
I work with startup founders and cross-border investors who need experienced, commercially minded advice without the overhead of a full-service firm.
For Founders
Building a company is hard enough without legal complexity slowing you down.
- •Incorporation and entity structuring
- •Fundraising documents (SAFEs, convertible notes, priced rounds)
- •Shareholders’ agreements — drafting and review
- •Commercial contracts
- •Ongoing advisory as the business grows
For Investors
Whether it’s your first angel cheque or your third SPV, the legal infrastructure matters.
- •SPV formation and structuring
- •Co-investment structures
- •Shareholders’ agreements and governance frameworks
- •Cross-border deal structuring
- •Micro-fund and small-scale VC infrastructure
