With nearly 500 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.

Let me guess why you are here. Either a dispute is heating up, a contract reads like it was drafted by a committee of robots, or your website might be breaking a privacy law you did not even know existed. Whichever one it is, I am glad you found me, because that messy legal stuff is exactly what I handle all day, every day. Litigation Support That Actually Moves Cases When a case is on the line, details beat drama. I draft pleadings, motions, discovery requests and responses, motions to dismiss, and every piece of paperwork that keeps a case alive and moving. I organize evidence, build witness chronologies, and prep attorneys for depositions and hearings. You bring the strategy, I bring the structure, and together we make the other side earn every inch. Contracts You Can Actually Use A good contract does two things: it protects you, and it does not put you to sleep. I draft and review agreements of all kinds, including service agreements, NDAs (non disclosure agreements), vendor contracts, partnership agreements, and employment documents. I do not just hunt for legal landmines. I also flag the vague language that starts fights six months later, and I rewrite it so both sides know exactly what they agreed to before a single signature goes down. Website and App Compliance Done Right If you run a website or an app, you are in the data protection business whether you planned it or not. I draft privacy policies, terms of service, cookie notices, and disclaimers that actually hold up against real frameworks like GDPR and CCPA. I also review signup flows, subscription terms, and app store requirements so your platform does not quietly build a lawsuit for you overnight. Yes, that is a real thing. No, I am not joking. Appellate Briefs That Persuade Appeals are a different animal. The record is closed, the facts are frozen, and all that is left is the law and how well you tell the story. I draft appellate briefs and reply briefs that respect the standard of review, lead with your strongest argument, and make the court want to rule in your favor. Petitions, responses, framing, precision. That is my lane, and I stay in it. Why I Prefer Text Over Calls Here is a confession. I would rather write to you than call you, and it is not because I am shy. Written communication is simply better for both of us. Text leaves a clear record of every instruction, every answer, and every deadline, so there is no he said, she said later. Legal questions deserve precise language, and writing forces that precision. It also kills the timezone problem, because I can respond on my schedule and you read on yours, which means progress keeps happening while you sleep. And let us be honest about the money too. When we work in writing, you pay for the actual work, not for twenty minutes of phone pleasantries. If we truly need to talk, I will suggest a short, structured call or a video chat with an agenda. Otherwise, my default is the written word, because it is clearer, safer, and easier for everyone involved. Let Us Talk About Your Matter You read this far, so let us make it useful. Send me a message with a brief summary of your case, any documents you can safely share, and your deadline. I will reply quickly with honest feedback on how I can help and what it will cost. No pressure, no jargon, no wasted time. Just a clear plan for your legal issue. Hit the message button and let us get to work.
