General Counsel

The General Counsel is the main advisor to the founder. Over the years of practice, I made sure that founders can confide their strategies, plans, and doubts to a person who owns the responsibility for the highest risks segment of business — legal.
It’s not a coincidence, as the General Counsel is always on top of all company matters and oversees any potential risks in cross-field departments.

What sets the General Counsel's expertise apart is that you develop a deep background in all existing legal areas at tech startups: tax planning and structuring, legal entities corporate management and governance, software IP protection, investments, employment, and data protection. You become proficient in these fields in multiple jurisdictions — wherever business interest can flourish.

The General Counsel acts from the inside as the closest advisor to the CEO and founders. You always take the fullest responsibility since you work with the stakeholders on a daily basis, and they trust your judgment. You have to implement all the strategies you advised and be accountable for the final result long-term. This makes you an asset for the business.

The General Counsel also speaks the same language as software engineers — years in the IT business make a big impact on understanding software product development. This nourishes trust between the core of each IT company and its legal function.

After being General Counsel for many years, I want to share my experience and knowledge with tech founders and CEOs. This resource is made not to advertise but to educate founders, be their knowledge base and safe harbor for tough decisions.
