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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️: "We had the pleasure of working with Austin on the development of our franchise agreement.

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.
