Дополнительная информация

I am a highly skilled tech lawyer with over 12 years of experience supporting IT companies across multiple jurisdictions. I hold a Master’s degree in International Business and Commercial Law (Distinction) from Anglia Ruskin University (Cambridge, UK), which provides a robust foundation for my practice. I specialise in international transactions and providing comprehensive legal support to tech businesses, ensuring compliance with corporate governance across global markets, including the EU, UK, and USA.

My expertise covers a broad range of legal areas related to the tech sector, including:

• IT Law & E-Commerce: Drafting and negotiating software licensing agreements, digital content licensing (photo, video, music), software development contracts, policies, AI-powered services, and digital platform operations.
• Cross-Border Structuring & International Tax: Supporting global business setup, restructuring, and ensuring compliance across jurisdictions.
• Commercial Contracts & Dispute Resolution: Leading negotiations on high-value commercial agreements and managing disputes to protect business interests.
• Intellectual Property: Registering and protecting copyrights and trademarks.
• Regulatory Compliance: Advising on GDPR, KYC, AML, and other multi-jurisdictional regulatory requirements.
• M&A Transactions: Supporting mergers, acquisitions, and related corporate processes.

With a successful track record across diverse corporate environments, I provide strategic counsel that aligns legal decisions with business objectives. I believe that every challenge has a solution, and my role is to determine the best way for companies to navigate all legal challenges on their path to growth.

In addition to this, my exceptional negotiation skills, proven by hundreds of closed deals, perfectly complement the toolkit needed to complete the picture of an ideal in-house lawyer.
