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.

I'm a legal professional with a dual law degree (LL.M., University of Arizona, 3.96 GPA; LL.B., Universität Trier, Germany), and I support solo attorneys, small firms, and businesses with legal research, contract review, and drafting assistance. I'm fluent in German and English, which lets me work on cross-border matters, GDPR compliance, and EU-facing contracts without anything getting lost in translation.
My background spans multiple jurisdictions and legal systems. As a legal trainee at SES Satellites (Luxembourg), I supported senior counsel on commercial contract drafting and redlining — NDAs, MSAs, software licensing, and vendor agreements — across cross-border matters. As a law clerk at a Las Vegas litigation firm, I supported personal injury cases through pleadings, discovery prep, and Nevada-focused research. I've also conducted legal research and drafted memos across a range of U.S. state jurisdictions.
What I can help with:
— Draft, review, or redline contracts and commercial agreements
— Conduct legal research with clear, organized written memos
— Flag compliance gaps under GDPR or U.S./state regulations
— Prepare legal templates, checklists, and procedural documents
— Translate legal documents between English and German
All work is prepared for attorney review and doesn't constitute legal advice — I'm not a licensed attorney (Nevada Bar exam preparation underway, expected 2027). I'd be glad to talk through what your matter needs.
