Counsel at the intersection of law, technology, and innovation When the precedent hasn’t been set yet, we get to write it
I help organizations navigate the messy, fascinating intersection where law meets cutting-edge technology — making sure innovation doesn't just move fast, but moves thoughtfully. I work with teams building AI systems and new platforms, helping them do it legally, ethically, and sustainably. Think translator, strategist, and early warning system rolled into one. The work sits at the crossroads of law, technology, and business strategy. I'm not just interpreting today's rules—I'm helping teams anticipate what they'll need to consider tomorrow. It's about seeing around corners and turning complex legal frameworks into practical guidance that actually helps people build better products. What drives me is this: you don't have to choose between innovative and responsible. The best solutions happen when you bring legal thinking in early—not as a roadblock, but as part of the design process. Whether that's embedding privacy into product architecture, structuring partnerships for responsible scaling, or developing AI governance frameworks that teams actually want to follow.
AI agents are making consequential decisions right now — and there's no standard way to prove what they decided, why, or whether it was right. That's a governance crisis hiding in plain sight. Credit approvals. Compliance checks. Income verification. All running autonomously. And if a regulator asks "prove your agent made the right call" — most teams have nothing defensible to hand over. Logs aren't governance. A stack of JSON isn't an audit trail. What's missing is a formal, tamper-evident record of autonomous decision-making — the reasoning, the policy version, the evidence, whether multiple agents reached the same conclusion independently.
