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.

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.

Legal professional (LL.M., University of Arizona, 3.96 GPA; LL.B., Universität Trier, Germany) supporting solo attorneys, small firms, and businesses with legal research, contract review, and drafting assistance. Not yet licensed — preparing for the Nevada Bar exam (2027) — so all work is prepared for attorney review and isn't legal advice. Currently providing ongoing paralegal support across estate planning, debt collection defense, business law, and tax resolution matters. Completed legal research projects across multiple jurisdictions (e.g., Ohio, D.C., Nevada, Massachusetts) and different areas (e.g., intentional torts, landlord-tenant claims, real estate sales). Background also includes drafting and redlining commercial agreements (NDAs, MSAs, software licensing, vendor contracts) as a legal trainee at SES Satellites in Luxembourg, including GDPR and cross-border compliance work — and Nevada-focused personal injury support as a law clerk at a Las Vegas litigation firm (pleadings, discovery prep, research). Fluent in German and English for cross-border and EU-facing matters. What I can help with: — Legal research with clear, organized written memos — Contract review, drafting, and redlining — Compliance gap flagging (GDPR, U.S./state regulations) — Legal templates, checklists, and procedural documents — Document translation, English ↔ German — Other legal support work. Happy to talk through what your matter needs. Currently available for: one-time projects; ongoing legal support for up to 15h/week.

The legal work isn't the hard part—finding enough time to do it all without sacrificing quality is. When deadlines are approaching, clients are waiting for answers, and paperwork keeps piling up, you need reliable support that keeps your practice moving, not someone you'll have to supervise every step of the way. That's where I come in. As a 'Paralegal Expert specializing in Family Law, Legal Research, Legal Writing, and Legal Drafting', I help attorneys and law firms reduce the pressure behind the scenes by handling the research, drafting, document organization, and case support that demand accuracy and attention to detail. Whether you're preparing pleadings, organizing evidence, researching legal authorities, reviewing documents, or building a clear case timeline, my goal is simple: give you more time to focus on your clients, your strategy, and your next hearing. Services I Provide Paralegal Support * Family law case support * Case file organization * Evidence and exhibit management * Discovery support * Case chronologies and timelines * Trial and deposition preparation * Document review Legal Research & Writing * Case law and statutory research * Legal memoranda * Pleadings * Motions * Affidavits and declarations * Demand letters * Legal correspondence * Proofreading and citation review Legal Drafting * Contracts and agreements * Terms of Service * Privacy Policies * Employment documents * Compliance documents What You Can Expect ✔ Work that is organized, accurate, and ready for review ✔ Clear communication, so you're never left wondering about progress ✔ Respect for deadlines because legal timelines don't move ✔ Careful handling of confidential information ✔ A dependable professional who understands that every assignment contributes to a larger legal strategy If you're looking for a paralegal who can help you stay organized, meet deadlines, and produce high-quality legal work without adding to your workload, I'd be glad to discuss your project and how I can support your practice.
