The four overlap by design: a contract question becomes a governance question, and a governance question becomes a question about rights, usually inside the same project. Much of the work happens alongside sales, product and engineering teams, across Swiss, Polish and cross-border matters.
I draft and negotiate the agreements technology runs on: software and SaaS, cloud and outsourcing, development, distribution and the data, model and open-source licences AI products are built on. They are written to hold as products and teams change.
Software and SaaS terms · Cloud and outsourcing · Development and distribution · Data, model and open-source licences
That contractual groundwork extends into governance: how data and AI-enabled products are built, documented and defended, from everyday questions to the ones that reach the board.
The EU AI Act and its Swiss counterparts · GDPR and the Swiss FADP · Cybersecurity and incident response · Model and vendor documentation
I protect, commercialise and enforce intellectual property: trademarks, designs, copyright, trade secrets and the inventions of engineering teams, together with the personality, voice and image rights on which content, sponsorship and reputation depend.
Trademarks, designs and copyright · Trade secrets and know-how · Image, voice and personality rights · Sponsorship and broadcasting
The same regulatory fluency serves organisations operating under supervision, from licensing and compliance through to dealings with authorities and the policy work that shapes what comes next.
Financial services regulation · Digital assets and payments · Licensing and authority dealings · Public policy and consultations
Those keywords are illustrations rather than limits. Which of the four areas leads depends less on the discipline than on the industry: what a broadcaster needs first is rarely what a payments business needs first.
The industries this work happens in→Mandates are typically cross-border, with counterparty counsel at large international firms and, where the matter is supervised, an authority on the other side of the correspondence.
Two admissions cover most of what comes in. Beyond them I work with counsel I have chosen myself, in jurisdictions where I have worked before.
A position taken early, with the reasoning and the trade-offs set out, so a commercial decision can be made rather than deferred.
Drafting and negotiating the document itself, from first structure through to the version both sides can live with.
Standing advice for teams that would rather not explain their business again each time a question arises: governance, recurring contracts, and the judgment calls in between.
An enquiry is not yet a mandate and does not meet any deadline. Name who is involved on both sides so I can check for conflicts, and hold the file itself back until I confirm I can act. What this means
