Hire the Best Management Consultants in New Jersey

You built something worth protecting. I help you protect it. I'm a Big Law-trained attorney and a former GC for a PE-backed company. That experience on both sides of the table means I know what your contracts need to survive due diligence, what your policies need to satisfy investors, and what your legal ops need to actually scale with your business. I also work with legal teams on something most lawyers still avoid: AI strategy and governance. How to adopt AI tools responsibly, what policies you need before your team starts using them, how to evaluate vendors, and how to stay ahead of the regulatory curve, without killing productivity in the process. Startups and growth-stage companies hire me when they need: 📄 Commercial contracts drafted and negotiated: NDAs, MSAs, SAAS, vendor agreements, consulting deals 💻 SaaS agreements, privacy policies, software licenses, and terms of service 🏛 Entity formation and structuring — LLCs, C-corps, bylaws, board resolutions 🛒 E-commerce compliance and website legal 🧩 Nonprofit formation and 501(c)(3) compliance (I ran and sold a successful nonprofit e-learning company) 🧠 Legal operations, AI strategy, and legal tech implementation for legal teams I work lean, price transparently (hourly or flat fee), and use technology to keep things fast and cost-effective. Licensed in NY and NJ (inactive). Available for one-time projects or ongoing counsel. If your legal needs are more personal than business, I'm probably not your person. But for companies, I'm ready to dig in!

Quick context for anyone scrolling my work history: my early jobs on Upwork were small Excel tasks I took to learn the platform. My real work for the past 15+ years has been operations and project management — most recently as Owner of JBG Consulting (since 2017), and before that as an Assistant Vice President at Bank of America Merrill Lynch managing a team of 5, and as Digital Project Manager at Princeton Partners. The deeper work is what I'm here to do. I help small and mid-sized businesses run cleaner and faster with less owner time stuck in the weeds — through process improvement, Excel automation, client and vendor relationship management, and modern AI-assisted workflows. What I'm best at: • Process audits — mapping how work gets done today and where the friction lives • Project management — running an initiative end-to-end so you don't have to babysit it • Client & vendor relationship management — being the single point of contact who translates between parties, chases down answers, and keeps everything moving • Excel & Google Sheets — dashboards, models, reporting, anything spreadsheet-driven • AI-assisted workflows — using modern AI tools to remove manual, repetitive work • CRM & tool stack cleanup — optimizing the systems you already use How I work: tell me the outcome you need. I'll scope it, give you a fixed-price quote, and deliver. I'm a fit for clients who want to hand a responsibility off and get it back done — not micromanage hours. You're probably the right fit if: ✓ You have a recurring ops headache you keep meaning to fix ✓ You have multiple clients or vendors to juggle and need someone to quarterback those relationships — translating requests, chasing down answers, and keeping everyone aligned ✓ You want a CRM, spreadsheet, or reporting workflow cleaned up properly ✓ You need a steady project manager to keep something on the rails ✓ You'd rather buy an outcome than rent an hour Send me the problem and I'll tell you honestly whether I'm the right person to solve it.
