I’ve been practicing commercial law for over 25 years, and am motivated by identifying creative solutions to challenging situations . I work with founders, business owners, investors, and international clients on the contracts and disputes that run their businesses - SaaS agreements, IP, employment, privacy, cease and desists, and more. My approach to drafting and dispute resolution combines creativity and persistence to reach practical outcomes for all parties. I’m direct, I move quickly, and I don’t dress things up. Background: LL.M. in Corporate Finance and M&A from Fordham Law, LL.M. in International Taxation from Hebrew University of Jerusalem, years at Deloitte (New York and Tel Aviv) on cross-border work, and years at Sunrise Securities Group counseling technology, cybersecurity, and real estate investment companies on financing, SEC reporting, and board governance. Admitted in New York. Fluent in English and Hebrew. What I work on most: • SaaS agreements, MSAs, and B2B commercial contracts • International and cross-border commercial transactions • Corporate counsel formation, governance, operating agreements, joint ventures • Corporate restructuring and reorganization • Tax planning and tax-driven structuring (U.S. and international) • Employment law agreements, contractors, non-competes, workplace issues • IP licensing, copyright protection, and infringement enforcement • Cease and desist letters • Privacy policies, terms of service, and data agreements • Demand letters and pre-litigation strategy • Ongoing counsel for small businesses What clients have said: “Absolutely top-tier. Strategic, fast, and incredibly professional.” “If you’re looking for an attorney who’s smart, intuitive, and truly looks out for you, Yael Katz is the one.” “Highly knowledgeable, thoughtful, and clearly an expert in her field.” Feel free to reach out for a non-billable preliminary consultation. I’ll give you initial guidance on what you’re working on, and we can take it from there.

I am an attorney licensed in NY since 2009. In 2018 I moved my practice exclusively online and have been offering clients unbundled legal services ever since. My areas of expertise are Family Law, Civil Litigation, Contracts and Employment Law, but I am happy to discuss any legal issue you may have on your mind. Even if I do not know the answer, I can still help you find it! The "unbundled" services I offer include: legal research, case strategy sessions, guidance to pro se litigants, consultations, and legal writing. I am very passionate about the law, and will always go the extra mile to make sure the work I produce meets the expectations of my clients and surpasses those of my adversaries. I am also happy to review any legal documents written by an AI for a flat fee per page. Just so you have the peace of mind that there is some human oversight in the Process! Finally, I am fluent in Spanish and Portuguese, and able to translate and certify any documents (legal or otherwise) in those languages.
