OVERVIEW/SUMMARY I am an international technology, media, and intellectual property lawyer with 12+ years of experience supporting businesses in structuring, negotiating, and executing commercial transactions across AI, digital platforms, SaaS, and cross-border media environments. My work sits at the intersection of law, commercial strategy, and deal execution helping clients not only understand legal risk, but actively negotiate and shape contractual outcomes that align with business objectives. I regularly work with startups, technology companies, and media organisations on high-volume and high-value contracting, where clarity, speed, and commercial precision are critical. CORE AREAS OF WORK • Leading and supporting negotiation of SaaS, AI, licensing, and commercial agreements • Structuring complex technology, media, and intellectual property transactions • Drafting and refining contracts to balance commercial intent with legal risk allocation • AI-related legal advisory, governance, and contracting frameworks • Intellectual property strategy, licensing, and ownership structuring • Media, content acquisition, and distribution agreements • Cross-border commercial contracts and regulatory alignment • Dispute prevention, pre-litigation strategy, and contractual risk resolution • NDA, vendor, and service agreement negotiation and optimisation PROFESSIONAL BACKGROUND Alongside my advisory practice, I have held in-house legal experience in an international media and broadcasting environment, where I managed high-volume commercial contracting, content rights arrangements, and cross-border operational coordination in regulated settings. This experience enables me to operate not only as a legal adviser, but as a commercially embedded legal partner who understands execution pressure, stakeholder negotiation, and real-world business constraints. HOW I WORK I focus on delivering legal work that is: • commercially grounded (aligned with business goals, not abstract theory) • negotiation-aware (designed to perform in real bargaining situations) • structurally clear (reduces ambiguity and downstream disputes) • execution-oriented (built to move deals forward, not slow them down) Clients engage me for clear thinking, disciplined drafting, and practical negotiation support in complex cross-border environments. QUALIFICATIONS • PhD in Law: University of Technology Sydney • Contract Law Certification: Harvard University • LL.M. in Intellectual Property : George Washington University • Advocate, India (2013) I frequently collaborate with local counsel where jurisdiction-specific representation or filing is required, ensuring seamless alignment between strategic legal direction and procedural execution across borders.
