Commercial Contracts & Emerging Tech Law Specialist | Admitted Attorney & Notary Public I help businesses navigate complex legal landscapes with precision, from high-stakes commercial agreements to the evolving world of AI and technology law. With over a decade of legal experience and a practice built on delivering practical, business-focused legal solutions, I bring senior-level legal thinking to every matter I take on. What I Do: Commercial Contracts & Agreements - Drafting, reviewing and negotiating contracts that protect your interests and hold up when tested e.g. NDAs, service agreements, partnership agreements, supplier contracts and bespoke commercial arrangements. AI & Technology Agreements - One of the few attorneys actively practising in this space. I draft and review AI licensing agreements, data usage terms, technology service agreements and emerging tech contracts, helping businesses engage with AI responsibly and legally. Corporate Governance & Risk Management - Keeping your business structurally sound and legally compliant. I advise on governance frameworks, regulatory compliance and risk mitigation strategies tailored to your business model. Legal Opinions & Research - Clear, well-reasoned legal opinions on complex commercial questions, written for decision-makers, not just other lawyers. Dispute Resolution - Strategic legal advice on managing and resolving commercial disputes before they become costly litigation. Why Work With Me? You get the benefit of a client-focused approach with the depth of experience from NN Legal Solutions. Most businesses engage a lawyer after something breaks. I work best with clients who want to get ahead of the problem, building contracts and governance structures that prevent disputes rather than just resolve them. You get direct access to a senior attorney. No juniors, no handoffs — just focused, experienced legal work delivered on time. Available for once-off projects, retainer arrangements and ongoing support. 📩 Message me to discuss your matter.
