Legal Consultant Needed for Commercial Contract Review

Posted 2 weeks ago

Worldwide

Summary

We're a small international business (SaaS + cross-border trading) looking for an experienced corporate/commercial lawyer to help us with two connected pieces of work. First, we need someone to review a handful of existing agreements, a SaaS customer contract, a vendor agreement, and a distribution agreement with an overseas partner, and flag anything that puts us at risk (liability caps, termination terms, IP ownership, payment terms). We're not looking for a full legal opinion on each one, just clear, practical redlines and a short explanation of what needs to change and why. Second, we're exploring setting up a UAE entity (likely free zone) and need someone who actually understands the formation process, shareholder structuring, and what documentation we'll need, not a generic overview copied from a blog post. Ideal fit: Has real experience with commercial/corporate contract review, not just templates Understands UAE company formation and free zone structures specifically Can explain legal risk in plain language, we're not lawyers and don't want jargon Comfortable working async, with clear written summaries rather than long calls Available for follow-up questions as we finalize the UAE setup over the next few weeks Please share a bit about your relevant experience with cross-border commercial contracts and UAE formation work when you apply, generic proposals will be skipped. Budget: Open to fixed-price for the contract review, hourly for ongoing UAE formation guidance. Let us know what makes sense for your workflow.
