Дополнительная информация

I am a seasoned tech corporate 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 EU, UK, USA, and CIS countries.

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

• Commercial contracts (MSAs, SOWs, SaaS and software development agreements, DPAs, IP and AI-related contracts, procurement and service agreements, NDAs)
• Intellectual property and licensing, including open-source compliance
• Data privacy and protection (GDPR, SCCs, processor terms)
• Regulatory compliance (AML/KYC, sanctions)
• Product counsel, including AdTech and marketing compliance
• M&A, corporate structuring, and strategic transactions
• Legal team leadership and cross-functional collaboration with Product, Sales, Marketing, Finance, and HR
• Enterprise risk management and mitigation
• Dispute resolution and litigation management

With a proven track record across diverse corporate environments, I provide strategic legal counsel that aligns legal risk management with business objectives. I focus on helping companies navigate complex legal and regulatory challenges in a pragmatic way that supports sustainable growth. I am well-positioned to contribute at a senior level within in-house legal teams.

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