About

I help SaaS and software companies accelerate deal cycles and protect their global interests without the overhead of a full-time GC. I focus on the intersection of Software Licensing, Data Protection (GDPR/DPDPA/CCPA/CPRA), and IP Structuring, specifically tailored for B2B startups and marketplaces scaling across India, Germany, and the US. By aligning legal frameworks with product goals, I ensure your company remains investor-ready from your first customer to your largest enterprise contract. Beyond standard advisory, I specialise in navigating the complexities of MSAs, product terms, and global data privacy compliance, providing the speed and strategic clarity required by Tech CEOs and Founders. With a deep expertise in M&A and cross-border transactions, I bring a strong dealmaker perspective to high stakes negotiations. So, whether you are structuring a multi-million dollar round or refining your international legal strategy, I provide the execution-focused counsel necessary to scale safely and swiftly. If you are looking to streamline your legal operations or prepare for your next major transaction, I would welcome the opportunity to connect.
