I set up and run construction operations for GCs and property managers- JobTread, Buildertrend, AppFolio, and the vendor compliance infrastructure that holds everything together. COI tracking, subcontractor onboarding, contract administration, SOP development, and audit-ready documentation are the core of what I do. My clients hire me because they need someone who already knows the systems and understands the regulatory side. My clients are GCs, property managers, real estate investors, and small business owners who need senior-level operations support without a full-time hire. What I actually do for clients: Build vendor compliance programs from scratch: onboarding workflows, COI tracking systems, subcontractor prequalification, and audit-ready documentation. Set up and manage construction operations in JobTread, Buildertrend, and AppFolio. Draft demand letters, organize litigation files, and prepare collections documentation. Create compliance dashboards, SOPs, and reporting tools in Excel and Google Sheets. Research regulatory requirements, zoning codes, permit obligations, and municipal compliance across jurisdictions. Manage contract administration, change order tracking, and subcontractor agreement enforcement. I hold Fair Housing and Section 8 compliance certifications (SHCM) and have direct experience in multi-state regulatory environments. I understand the legal and regulatory side of this work, not just the paperwork. Available 30+ hours per week. Send me a message to connect- Upwork response time 2 to 4 hours. I work fast, communicate clearly, and deliver clean work the first time. Send me a mess. That is exactly the kind of problem I fix.

Recognized by The Legal 500 GC Powerlist (2021–2026), I support attorneys and legal teams where execution matters most. I ensure contracts, disputes, and legal workflows move forward with structure, clarity, and control — not delays or rework. If your matters need to stay organized, on track, and progressing consistently, I step in and make that happen. I don’t just support legal work — I make sure it moves. I work at the intersection of legal operations, transactions, and cross-border structures, supporting environments where execution, clarity, and control are critical. With 20+ years of experience supporting U.S.-facing legal teams, executives, and multi-entity environments, my focus is ensuring that legal processes do not stall, transactions progress, and complexity is translated into structured, manageable workflows. Core areas of execution: Legal Operations & Workflow Execution Designing structured workflows that bring visibility, accountability, and follow-through into legal operations — including document management, intake, client coordination, and deadline control. Transactions & Contract Support Supporting contract drafting, review, and multi-party transaction processes where alignment, timing, and execution are critical to closing. Litigation & Arbitration Support Supporting dispute environments through drafting assistance, document control, discovery workflows, and preparation for hearings and mediation. Family Office & Cross-Border Structures Supporting multi-jurisdictional environments requiring coordination, governance, and alignment across legal and operational structures. Across all engagements, my focus remains consistent: • Bringing structure to complexity • Ensuring visibility across processes • Maintaining control over documentation and timelines • Supporting execution from initial setup through completion Legal work only creates value when it moves — when deadlines are met, information is controlled, and stakeholders remain aligned. Bilingual (English–Spanish) and experienced working remotely with distributed teams, I support attorneys and leadership teams who require reliability, responsiveness, and structured execution. If you need someone who can step into complex legal environments and ensure that work progresses with clarity, control, and consistency — I can add value immediately.

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.

Award-winning Corporate & Contract Lawyer helping startups, SaaS companies, and global businesses draft, review, and negotiate enforceable agreements across US, UK, and international markets. Most contract issues don’t begin as disputes; they begin as poorly structured agreements that quietly expose revenue, IP, and compliance risk. I draft and refine commercial agreements, SaaS Agreements, NDAs, MSAs, Privacy Policies, and GDPR-compliant frameworks that are built for enforceability, commercial protection, and regulatory alignment before problems surface. With 12+ years as a Business & Corporate Lawyer with extensive experience in Commercial Law, SaaS Contracts, Legal Compliance, Data Privacy, and Cross-Border Transactions, I provide high-level legal support tailored to modern digital businesses and fast-scaling companies. My approach combines risk mitigation, legal precision, and business strategy to ensure every agreement aligns with your operational goals while remaining enforceable under applicable US, UK, and international legal frameworks. Most lawyers draft documents. I architect legal systems that strengthen businesses. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐𝗖𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗦𝗽𝗼𝘁𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 "Adesewa demonstrated exceptional professionalism and diligence in handling our commercial lease agreement, including contract drafting, lease negotiation, and legal review.
