Hire the Best Startup Professionals

Hi, I'm Alex. I'm a licensed cross-border lawyer in the US/Canada, and I make doing business easier. I offer a variety of lean, fixed-fee legal solutions for startups, ventures and small businesses such as: • Business formation and structuring (LLCs, C-Corps) • Corporate governance, maintenance, changes, and compliance • Contract drafting, review, negotiation, and execution support • IP protection (assignments, USPTO/CIPO trademark applications) • Venture finance, capital markets, and securities work • Legal strategy and business consulting I offer a non-committal consult for $100 which is applied as a credit on any future work (making some services free). After the consult, all services are offered for an unbundled fixed-fee on an as-needed basis. No unexpected bills, no hidden fees, and no $30 emails. I also offer competitive fractional general counsel packages and a modest retainer if you require more consistent, ongoing support. If you have a question or proposal, I'd love to get in touch. Please note: the contents of this profile, and any communications through Upwork do not create an attorney-client relationship, are not legal advice, and do not guarantee any particular outcome.

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.

Most funnels fail because they’re built by people who don’t guarantee ROI. Me? I guarantee it, right in the contract we both digitally sign. And it’s not some vague satisfaction guarantee, it’s tied to a real dollar value (3x whatever you pay me). I create, launch and scale sales funnels using direct-response principles where every step has one job: generate revenue (through purchase or booked calls). Because I guarantee ROI, I don’t just build the funnel, I also manage and optimize it day-to-day until the guarantee is fulfilled.

That makes me honest and picky about who I take on as an investor (what I call my clients). I call them investors because I generate ROI based on your investment. Because when you pay me, it’s not an expense. Expenses are losses. I’m accountable for returns. 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐬 👇 𝐏𝐀𝐈𝐃 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐒𝐔𝐋𝐓𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐑𝐄𝐐𝐔𝐈𝐑𝐄𝐃. 𝐍𝐨 𝐞𝐱𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬.

I Build GTM Systems That Generate Pipeline, Not Just Campaigns Most companies don’t have a lead problem. They have a broken go-to-market system. * Outbound isn’t connected to inbound * Paid traffic doesn’t convert * Attribution is unreliable * Follow-up is inconsistent or manual I build specialized, automated GTM systems that connect outbound, inbound, and lifecycle into a single engine. Since 2018, I’ve helped generate $12.5M+ in revenue by designing systems that consistently produce pipeline not just activity. What I Build: 1. Outbound GTM Engines * Cold email + LinkedIn systems built around real buying signals * Targeting based on hiring trends, behavior, and intent * Multi-touch sequences that feel personalized at scale 2. Automated Pipeline Infrastructure * Lead capture > routing > follow-up > conversion * CRM, outbound tools, and analytics fully connected * No dropped leads, no manual gaps 3. Lifecycle & Monetization Systems * Rich HTML newsletters and nurture flows * Upsell, re-engagement, and retention sequences * Built to drive revenue not vanity metrics 4. Full-Funnel GTM Integration * SEO + content aligned with real demand signals * Paid ads layered on top of proven segments * Email + lifecycle maximizing every touchpoint Most agencies sell channels. I build the system that makes all channels work together at a fraction of the cost. Your outbound system becomes the foundation for everything else: GTM is no longer marketing. It’s engineering. The Gamma Growth Partners Framework: * Data Layer → who you target (signals > lists) * Messaging Layer → relevance + timing * Distribution Layer → outbound, inbound, paid * Conversion Layer → follow-up + lifecycle * Optimization Layer → continuous iteration Most companies are missing 2–3 of these layers. That’s where pipeline breaks. Recent Results: * SaaS: 200+ users/month * SEO Agency: 10+ opportunities/week * Local Services: 20+ opportunities/week * iOS App: +$20K MRR in 4 weeks * Agency: $1.5M ARR in 90 days Why Clients Work With Me Most freelancers: Write templates, Pull lists, Press send Most agencies: Sell disconnected services, Move slowly, Charge high retainers I: Design the system, Build it end-to-end, Connect every channel, Optimize continuously Stack Experience: Clay, Pipedrive, HubSpot, Apollo, Instantly, Smartlead Mailchimp, Klaviyo, Salesforce GTM, GA4, SEO, paid ads, outbound infrastructure If you reach out, I’ll break down: * Where your GTM system is leaking revenue * What signals you should actually be targeting * A clear system to fix it
