I'm an attorney with experience in public policy, regulatory work, and litigation in a variety of different settings. I've helped friends with contracts, custody cases, and more. I have strong writing and research skills, and learn quickly.

With 350+ 5-star client reviews, I am proud to serve a growing client list here on Upwork. As an experienced business and corporate attorney, I provide end-to-end legal support; handling everything from day-to-day contract management to complex transactions, governance, and compliance. Many of my clients treat me as their on-demand legal department. I draft, review, and negotiate all key agreements, guide leadership through business restructuring, oversee equity and financing documents, and help ensure corporate formalities are observed. Whether you’re a startup, established company, or investor, I deliver practical legal solutions that protect your interests and support sustainable growth. Building on years of experience working with entrepreneurs and Fortune 500 companies alike, I’ve earned a strong reputation for simplifying complex legal issues and turning them into clear, actionable agreements. From Nondisclosure Agreements and Master Service Agreements to Employment and Independent Contractor Agreements, I help clients avoid risk, stay compliant, and move deals forward efficiently. I also assist with Privacy Policies, Terms & Conditions, and compliance programs—keeping businesses aligned with evolving privacy and data protection laws across multiple jurisdictions. Beyond contracts, I advise on entity formation, ownership structure, capital contributions, and internal governance. This includes drafting operating and shareholder agreements, implementing compliance frameworks, and providing ongoing guidance on employment, IP, and commercial matters. I also offer a flat-fee AI Contract Review & Rewrite service for clients who start with ChatGPT or LegalZoom templates. These drafts often miss key provisions or state-specific compliance requirements. I transform them into enforceable, attorney-grade agreements tailored to your goals. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️: "We had the pleasure of working with Austin on the development of our franchise agreement.

I help small businesses, founders, and professional-service firms handle the legal work that actually moves the business forward: contracts that hold up, disputes resolved before they turn into lawsuits, and legal research you can rely on. I'm Evan Miller, a Florida-licensed attorney (FL Bar No. 112646) with 12+ years of experience, and the founder of Odyssey Legal PLLC, a lean, technology-forward practice built around clear scope, transparent pricing, and direct communication. I work with clients throughout Florida and take on transactional, research, and drafting projects for clients in other jurisdictions when the work doesn't require a local court appearance. WHERE I CAN HELP Business & Contract Law - Drafting and reviewing contracts, independent contractor and service agreements, purchase/sale agreements - Partnership, ownership, and governance documents - Contract negotiation, termination, and exit strategy - Breach-of-contract analysis and payment disputes - Terms and conditions, policies, and operational documents Demand Letters & Dispute Resolution - Demand letters and cease-and-desist letters - Pre-litigation strategy and settlement communications - Responses to opposing counsel - Business-sale, payment, and contract-default disputes Legal Research & Memoranda - Florida and multi-state statutory and regulatory research - Legal opinions, risk assessments, and compliance reviews - Reviewing AI-generated legal research or contracts for accuracy, unsupported claims, or fabricated authority Corporate Governance & Nonprofit Work - Bylaws, board resolutions, and entity documentation - Nonprofit governance and statutory compliance Estate Planning (Florida) - Trust, will, and estate-planning document review and drafting HOW I WORK I review the actual documents and facts before I give you conclusions, not just the story I'm told. From there, I define the scope and deliverables up front, flag the risks that matter, and aim to get the draft right the first time instead of running up a bill on revisions. I'm direct about what's settled law, what's an assumption, and where you need local counsel. I typically work at $100/hour, with fixed fees available for well-defined projects and milestone billing on larger ones, so you know what to expect before the meter starts running. WHAT I DON'T TAKE ON I focus on transactional, research, and pre-litigation work. I generally don't take on full litigation representation, criminal defense, or contested family-law matters, though I can support those through research, drafting, and strategy for you or your local counsel. TO GET STARTED Send me a short description of the issue, the relevant jurisdiction, the documents involved, your desired outcome, and any deadline. I'll review it and come back with a clear scope and next steps.

If you need senior-level legal, compliance, or financial planning expertise without the overhead of a full-time hire, you've found the right person. I'm a qualified attorney (South Africa) and senior legal professional with 30+ years of experience spanning contract administration, regulatory compliance, corporate governance, business strategy, and estate and wealth planning. I've managed contract portfolios representing billions of dollars in value, led legal and compliance functions at Eskom Holdings SOC Limited, one of Africa's largest public utilities with R130 billion in annual commercial spend, and advised C-Suite executives and Board members on high-stakes legal and regulatory risk. On Upwork, I've earned $100k+ delivering results for clients who needed more than a generalist. They needed someone with real institutional depth, sharp legal thinking, and the ability to turn complex requirements into clear, actionable outcomes. That is what I bring to every engagement. I work across three core areas: 1. Contract Review, Drafting & Negotiation From NDAs and service agreements to complex multi-party contracts, I review, draft, and negotiate commercial agreements that protect your interests. Most contracts are reviewed within 24 to 48 hours. I bring the same precision to a startup's first vendor agreement as I brought to billion-dollar procurement contracts. 2. Legal & Regulatory Compliance I help businesses design and implement compliance frameworks that actually work. Whether you need a regulatory gap analysis, a policy and procedure overhaul, corporate governance advisory, or Board-level compliance reporting, I deliver institutional-grade compliance thinking scaled to your business. 3. Estate Planning & Wealth Protection Strategy As a Certified Estate Planning Strategist (FinLawConnect) with a California Life and Health Insurance License, I deliver integrated estate and wealth planning that combines legal precision with financial strategy. I work with individuals, families, and business owners who are serious about protecting what they have built and creating a lasting legacy. My clients are business owners, entrepreneurs, executives, and individuals who want one trusted expert across legal, compliance, and financial planning. Not three different consultants charging three different fees. If you want work done with precision, accountability, and zero shortcuts- let's talk.
