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.

Building a business is an accomplishment. Keeping it profitable and relevant in today’s global economy is more challenging than ever. What’s the secret sauce to succeeding? Change. I’ve spent over 25 years leading businesses and teams in start-ups and Fortune 500 companies in aerospace, manufacturing, consulting, government and real estate sectors. Across multiple industries, businesses often have the same problems in common; leadership and culture alignment, disengaged employees that are overallocated, projects that are overrun on cost and schedule, supply chain issues, manufacturing inefficiencies, quality management defects and customer acquisition costs that are through the roof. At the root of is these challenges is the resistance to change. It doesn’t have to be this way. My expertise includes evaluating six strategic functional areas of your business. Conducting this comprehensive evaluation clarifies which issues are critical and need to be addressed. Additionally, I can coach your team through the next steps of implementing solutions by utilizing a change management process that minimizes organizational disruption. Are you ready to embrace change and solve problems in your business? I value my client’s satisfaction and will listen intently to your concerns to develop a solution that works for your unique business.

Healthcare organizations don't just need compliance — they need compliance that works when it's tested. I'm a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) with 22 years of clinical experience and an MBA in Healthcare Administration, with over a decade inside managed care organizations including Highmark Health, Capital Blue Cross, and Centene. I've spent my career at the intersection of clinical operations and regulatory compliance — which means I understand not just what the rules say, but how they play out on the ground. I work independently with health plans, healthcare technology companies, medical facilities, DME companies, behavioral health organizations, and home health agencies across three service areas: REGULATORY COMPLIANCE & DOCUMENTATION I build and refine the documentation infrastructure organizations depend on — policies and procedures aligned with CMS, Medicaid, NCQA, and state DOH standards; SOPs and workflow documentation; compliance gap analysis; and regulatory readiness including mock audit support. HEALTHCARE TECHNOLOGY & PLATFORM SPECIFICATIONS I translate regulatory requirements into functional system design. I've developed foundational prior authorization platform specifications for AI-assisted submission tools, designed JCI-aligned accreditation platform architecture for new healthcare facilities, and advised on federal compliance obligations under the No Surprises Act. If your product or platform touches healthcare regulation, I can write the rules it needs to follow. INSURANCE DENIAL & APPEALS I write denial appeals that are hard to dismiss — because I know how payers review them. I handle prior authorization and claim denial appeals, build medical necessity arguments using InterQual, MCG, Medicaid, and CMS criteria, and provide denial management consulting for practices with high denial volumes. My years inside health plan utilization management is the advantage your appeal needs. Whether you need compliant policies built from scratch, a regulatory framework translated into platform specifications, or a wrongful denial overturned — I bring the clinical knowledge and regulatory depth to get it done. My services do not constitute legal advice. For legal representation, please consult a licensed healthcare attorney.

I help businesses identify compliance risks, review agreements, and strengthen policies before issues arise. My background includes regulatory compliance, risk analysis, and policy development within highly regulated industries. I specialize in reviewing business agreements and documentation to identify potential risk areas and ensure clarity before they are implemented. I assist businesses with: • Contract and agreement risk review • Policy and procedure development • Compliance documentation review • Operational risk identification • Regulatory compliance support Many businesses operate without structured policies or clear agreements, which can create unnecessary risk over time. My goal is to help businesses improve their documentation and compliance practices so they can operate with greater confidence and stability. If you need an experienced compliance professional to review agreements or help develop clear business policies, I would be happy to assist.
