Regulatory strategy and market expansion
Market-entry analysis, regulatory positioning, licensing strategy, outside counsel coordination — turning multi-jurisdiction advice into decisions the business can actually use.
For Legal Teams
Sometimes you have the budget for help, but not the budget, headcount, or time to hire the senior lawyer you actually need.
I work alongside GCs, CLOs, and VPs of Legal who need experienced legal capacity now — to own a critical workstream, help launch a new product or market, manage a regulatory problem, or simply absorb work that has outgrown the existing team.
I'm not there to replace your legal team. I'm there to make it more powerful.
Maybe you're hiring, but the search will take months. Maybe the business has expanded faster than legal headcount. Maybe you've gotten budget for outside support, but not another senior FTE.
Maybe a new market, product, regulatory issue, or strategic initiative has created a temporary surge in work that outstrips overflow support. Or maybe you just need another senior lawyer who can take a complicated problem, own it, and bring you back an answer. That's where I come in.
Scope
Market-entry analysis, regulatory positioning, licensing strategy, outside counsel coordination — turning multi-jurisdiction advice into decisions the business can actually use.
Complex regulatory and product questions across payments, financial services, marketplaces, crypto, stablecoins, and emerging business models.
Working directly with Product and business teams to structure launches, partnerships, and new offerings around legal and regulatory constraints — without turning Legal into the department of no.
The important project on your desk that needs senior ownership and follow-through, but doesn't justify another permanent executive-level hire.
Built for legal leaders
You shouldn't have to spend your time translating the business for outside counsel, translating outside counsel for the business, or managing someone who needs constant direction.
I've spent 14+ years inside complex organizations — a global digital asset exchange, a Fortune 25 technology company, and a leading marketplace's financial services business — doing exactly this work. I can step into an existing legal function, work directly with your stakeholders and outside counsel, and own a defined piece of the problem while you stay firmly in control of the legal function.
Your team. Your strategy. More capacity to execute it.
