Hire the Best General Counsel Professionals

CASE MATTERS I HANDLE: Labor Law • Redrafting agreements so the independent-contractor relationship survives scrutiny and avoids misclassification suits • Drafting a legally sound quitclaim with a reasonable compensation offer • Acting as escrow to execute the signing of the quitclaim • Terminations. Ending a relationship with a PH-based worker without walking into an illegal or constructive dismissal claim. This is the call most clients wish they'd made two weeks earlier. • Reviewing/drafting employment contracts, NDAs, and Non-competes • Representing you in a labor case in the Labor Arbiter/labor tribunal • Statutory compliance. SSS, PhilHealth, Pag-IBIG, and what your exposure actually is if you've never registered Commercial Law • Legal guidance on company/investment structure • Act as corporate secretary for your PH corporation • Draft/review operations handbook • Data privacy counsel: Privacy notices, PIAs, breach response SOPs, DPO registration under the Data Privacy Act. • Intellectual property counsel - trademark, copyright, patent • Legal guidance on SEC registration, Articles and bylaws, permits, BIR compliance coordination with your US accountant, ToS and EULA drafting, Property/Civil • Pre-purchase due diligence for acquisitions and property investments. • Title transfers, Deeds of Sale, Extrajudicial Settlements, and estate tax processing. Also a licensed real estate salesperson (PRC No. 9266). • Debt collection • Ejectment and title recovery • Small claims • Family law petitions: e.g. petition for support, administration, or custody Criminal Law • Sending a demand or cease-and-desist letter as a prerequisite to filing a criminal case (recent experience: Estafa and BP22) • Channeling all communications to me as the lawyer instead of handling them yourself. • A worker goes rogue, threatens your reputation, or demands payment. I handle the demand letters and tell you honestly which threats have legal teeth and which don't. HOW I WORK • Fixed-fee proposals that includes the scope of work; beyond that, billable hours with cap. • Language a layperson could understand • I'll tell you when you don't need me. MY LEVERAGE: - I can see the risk before it becomes a dispute - I understand the client's business, especially if it is a BPO/Offshore Client as I've worked for them since 2010 - I can make a decision when there is no perfect legal answer - Certified Clio Administrator by Clio Academy (I have used Clio Manage to manage my own firm) Message me with your situation. If it's outside what I do, I'll tell you that too.

Hi, I'm Alex. I'm a licensed cross-border lawyer in the US/Canada, and I make doing business easier. I offer a variety of lean, fixed-fee legal solutions for startups, ventures and small businesses such as: • Business formation and structuring (LLCs, C-Corps) • Corporate governance, maintenance, changes, and compliance • Contract drafting, review, negotiation, and execution support • IP protection (assignments, USPTO/CIPO trademark applications) • Venture finance, capital markets, and securities work • Legal strategy and business consulting I offer a non-committal consult for $100 which is applied as a credit on any future work (making some services free). After the consult, all services are offered for an unbundled fixed-fee on an as-needed basis. No unexpected bills, no hidden fees, and no $30 emails. I also offer competitive fractional general counsel packages and a modest retainer if you require more consistent, ongoing support. If you have a question or proposal, I'd love to get in touch. Please note: the contents of this profile, and any communications through Upwork do not create an attorney-client relationship, are not legal advice, and do not guarantee any particular outcome.

I help businesses, startups, entrepreneurs and freelancers draft, review and strengthen their legal documents with practical, business-focused legal solutions. Whether you need a contract drafted from scratch, an existing agreement reviewed, or key clauses strengthened to better protect your business, my goal is simple: deliver documents that are legally robust, commercially practical and tailored to your specific needs. I am a bilingual (French/English) legal professional with experience gained in international law firms, multinational companies, judicial institutions and corporate legal departments. Throughout my career, I have worked on a wide range of commercial contracts, compliance matters and cross-border legal issues, combining technical legal analysis with a pragmatic understanding of business objectives. How I can help Commercial Contracts: - Service Agreements - Partnership Agreements - Distribution & Supplier Agreements - Consultancy, Subcontracting & Independent Contractor Agreements - Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) Contract Review & Risk Assessment: - Legal review of existing contracts - Redlining and contract markups - Clause-by-clause improvements - Legal risk identification - Business-oriented recommendations Digital Business & Compliance: - Terms & Conditions - Privacy Policies - GDPR Compliance - Website Legal Notices - End User License Agreements (EULAs) Legal Research: - Commercial Law - European Union Law - International Business Law - Arbitration - Compliance (AML/CFT & Data Protection) One of my strengths is my ability to work across different legal frameworks, including French civil law, European Union law and common law-inspired contractual drafting. This enables me to adapt contracts for both domestic and international business relationships while ensuring they remain clear, practical and enforceable. I place particular emphasis on drafting contracts that do more than simply comply with the law. Every document is tailored to the client's operational reality, commercial objectives and specific legal risks. Rather than relying on generic templates, I focus on producing agreements that are practical, balanced and designed to prevent disputes before they arise. Clients appreciate my responsiveness, attention to detail and structured approach. I believe good legal drafting should protect your business while remaining clear, commercially realistic and easy to use in practice. If you're looking for reliable legal support to draft, review or improve your contracts, I'd be happy to discuss your project.
