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.
