counsel who speaks both compliance and shipping cadence

Sectors we know well

Healthtech

Regulated product surfaces, clinical-adjacent data flows, and partner integrations where compliance and shipping cadence both matter.

Hybrid SaaS and services

Businesses that stack SLAs, partner obligations, and product-led growth—legal work has to match operating reality, not slide decks.

Publishers

News, video games, and social platforms: content policy, IP, and distribution deals at the pace of releases and campaigns.

Marketplaces and ecommerce

B2B and consumer marketplaces, plus ecommerce (health & beauty, apparel, and adjacent categories): trust, liability, and commercial terms that scale with GMV.

Crypto-adjacent

Issuers, NFT platforms, and related infrastructure—scoped engagements where facts, jurisdiction, and risk tolerance are explicit up front.
