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.

Hello, my name is Abhijit ("O.V.") Modak. I am an attorney licensed in The State of Texas, U.S. District Court, Southern and Northern Districts of Texas and the U.S. Tax Court. I am a solo practitioner with over 20 years of experience. I have represented many small to medium sized businesses in a wide range of legal issues ranging from transactional matters to civil/commercial litigation.
I am seeking legal engagements which are focused on transactional matters. I have extensive experience in the following transactional matters:
- I have been a fee attorney to a title company where I drafted various real estate documents
- I have negotiated and drafted complex contracts and lease agreements
- I have handled all aspects in negotiating and drafting documents in the sales of businesses
- I have provided legal advise to corporations and limited liability companies with regards to corporate governance matters. Many of these entities have had multiple shareholders or members, respectively.
- I have provided legal advise to startups to assist in establishing, financing and growing a new business venture
- I have also prepared estate planning documents where I have assisted clients in the preparation of wills, powers of attorney, healthcare powers of attorney, living wills, revocable and irrevocable trusts, special needs trusts, medicare trusts, pre/post nuptial agreements and buy-sell agreements
Many of these engagements have required extensive experience and knowledge in many areas of the law. I have always provided my services in a timely and efficient manner. I have had many long term relationships with my clients as a legal advisor and have enjoyed watching my clients' businesses grow and thrive. My legal practice has been sustained by obtaining clients from referrals from existing clients.
If you are looking for an attorney to negotiate and draft legal documents in an economic and timely manner, I encourage you to contact me.
