I help startups and founders move fast without taking on legal risk they can't see. With an LLM from the University of Nairobi and five years of legal experience across the private sector, government, and listed companies, I bring in-house legal thinking to remote engagements at a fraction of the cost of a full-time counsel. My work covers the full commercial legal lifecycle for early-stage and growing businesses: →NDAs, SaaS contracts, licensing and distribution agreements → GDPR/CCPA privacy policies, terms of service, and data processing agreements → Shareholder agreements, founder vesting, board resolutions, company registration → Legal due diligence for funding rounds, acquisitions, and joint ventures → Employment contracts, contractor agreements, and HR compliance → Legal research, litigation support, and document review for law firms. I have advised clients across Kenya, the UK, and the US, and I draft documents that work across jurisdictions, not just in one market. What I don't do: legal jargon that obscures decisions, 48-hour response times, or advice that protects me more than it protects you. What I do: clear drafts, fast turnarounds, and a consistent 5.0 rating on Upwork across every engagement. Send me a message describing your matter and I'll tell you within a few hours whether I can help and what it will take.
