Hire the Best Legal Professionals

I hold an LL.M. in U.S. Law (GPA 3.96, University of Arizona) and an LL.B from Universität Trier in Germany, giving me a working command of both U.S. and European legal frameworks that most legal freelancers simply don't have. I'm fluent in both English and German, which means I handle cross-border matters, GDPR compliance work, and EU-facing contracts without anything getting lost in translation. My background includes drafting and reviewing commercial agreements — NDAs, MSAs, licensing contracts, vendor agreements — at SES Satellites, one of the world's largest satellite operators, where I supported senior counsel across multiple jurisdictions. I've also worked as a law clerk in Nevada litigation, preparing pleadings, conducting research on LexisNexis, and managing multi-file deadlines under real pressure. What I can do for you: — Draft, review, or redline contracts and legal agreements — Conduct targeted legal research with written summaries — Identify compliance gaps under GDPR, U.S. regulations, or Nevada law — Prepare legal templates, policies, or procedural documents — Translate legal documents between English and German I treat every client matter as if it's the only one on my desk. Deadlines don't slip, confidentiality is non-negotiable, and you'll never have to chase me for a status update. Let's talk about what you need.

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.
