A founder-led technology or AI startup that has outgrown ad hoc outside counsel but isn't ready for a full-time General Counsel — contracts, IP and investor-readiness all need the same judgment applied consistently.
A large, publicly traded enterprise software vendor with a mature global legal and technology-compliance function, needing specialized open-source, IP and technology-transaction review at a scale internal generalist counsel cannot keep pace with alone.
What You Can Expect
AI and technology contracts negotiated by someone who understands both the legal exposure and the underlying technical architecture; faster resolution of technology disputes because the advisor already understands the systems involved; and outsourcing agreements structured to survive the operational reality of the engagement, not just look clean on paper.
When This Applies
A new AI vendor agreement is on the table and needs technology-fluent legal review before it gets signed.
A dispute has come up with a technology vendor or outsourcing partner and needs a resolution strategy, not just a generic demand letter.
In Their Own Words
"As a CEO already paying for AI governance advisory, I need contract support from someone who already understands our AI architecture, so that I'm not re-explaining our environment to a new outside counsel."
"As an operations lead structuring an outsourcing relationship between India and Canada, I need legal advisory that understands both jurisdictions and the technical delivery model, not just generic outsourcing boilerplate."

How Success Is Measured
Representative Scenarios
Situation: A client already engaged for AI governance advisory needed a new AI vendor contract reviewed and negotiated under time pressure.
Approach: Contract review and negotiation support was bundled into the existing retainer, drawing directly on the governance engagement's existing architecture knowledge.
Outcome: The contract was negotiated and executed within the vendor's renewal deadline, with terms improved relative to the vendor's initial draft.
