Your contracts should protect you — not come back to haunt you. Whether you are launching a SaaS product, building an AI tool, onboarding contractors, or closing a business deal, the contract sitting behind that transaction either works for you or against you. Most founders and businesses find out which one — only after something goes wrong. That is where I come in. I am a licensed attorney (Bar Council of India) with a specialist certification in US Advanced Contract Drafting, and over five years of experience serving clients across the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, and beyond. In that time, I have drafted 700+ agreements — from SaaS Master Service Agreements and AI licensing contracts to NDAs, IP assignments, founder agreements, and data privacy documents — for startups, agencies, and growing businesses worldwide. What I do differently: Every agreement I draft is built around your specific deal, your risk exposure, and your business model — in clean, precise language that holds up and that both sides can actually understand. I specialize in: SaaS & Tech Agreements — MSA, SLA, EULA, White Label, Reseller AI Contracts — Vendor Agreements, Model Licensing, IP Ownership, Indemnification Clauses IP & Confidentiality — IP Assignment, NDA, Non-Compete, Non-Solicitation Startup & Corporate Documents — Founders' Agreements, SHA, LLC Operating Agreements, SAFE Notes Data Privacy & Compliance — Privacy Policies, Terms of Service, DPA (GDPR & CCPA aligned) Commercial Contracts — Consulting Agreements, SOWs, Vendor & Contractor Agreements Why clients keep coming back: I draft to US contract conventions and standards, communicate in plain English, turn work around fast, and flag issues you did not know to look for. My job is not just to fill in the blanks — it is to make sure your agreement actually does what you need it to do. Ready to get started? Send me a message describing your agreement — what it covers, who the parties are, and your timeline. I will take it from there.
