Solutions and expertise
fractional legal operations
Running an in-house legal and compliance team today means more than managing contracts and compliance. It’s about driving efficiency, technology adoption, and alignment with business strategy. Many General Counsel know what needs to improve but lack the time, tools, or headcount to make it happen. That’s where I come in.
I am an 2022 alumnus of the Legal Operations Academy and built, (re)structured and optimized Legal & Compliance teams several times around. I was the COO of a startup and had P&L responsibility. This sets me apart from other Legal Ops advisors.
My aim is to help GCs and their teams design and implement structural workable methods including practical legal operations solutions on a fractional, project-based basis. My support covers the full operational lifecycle, from diagnostics and strategy to execution and change management.
My approach is hands-on, pragmatic, and tailored to your organisation’s size and maturity. The result: more structure, visibility, and capacity for your legal or compliance team to focus on what matters most supporting the business.
Whether you need to kick-start a legal ops function, select the right technology, or deliver a specific improvement project, fractional support gives you expert impact with flexibility.
executive / supervisory services
With my broad and extensive leadership experience, corporate governance expertise and deep understanding of organisational challenges, I am often asked to join boards as a (non-) executive director or to hold a position in a supervisory board.
You may be in need of a seasoned director to enhance you local management team or are setting up a local organization. I’ve worked closely with family offices, venture capital firms, and founding teams in different industries and stages of growth. Clients value my additional value as an entrepreneur, director with P&L responsibility.
I want to add value to an organization and am able to always proactively identify the matters that need attention on board level. This is particularly beneficial for companies at pivotal moments, such as during periods of significant growth, change, or when facing challenging conditions.
Inquire about the possibilities of having me on as a (non-) executive director and what the added value is in keeping on top of your growth, needs and compliance requirements. Related services can be discussed and if necessary we can bring you in touch with a network of trusted partners.
fractional General counsel
Gain access to a seasoned legal leader — with 20+ years of experience (including 10+ years in-house leadership) — to manage your legal workload flexibly, efficiently, and at a fraction of traditional law firm rates.
As an experienced General Counsel, I partner with executive teams and in-house departments on both legal and strategic matters.
My expertise spans a wide range of areas, with deep experience in M&A, corporate law, commercial contracts, corporate governance, antitrust, ESG, and dispute resolution. I also have a strong and recent track record in financial regulatory law (AML/ATF, CCP, DORA/NIS to name a few), including the management of high-stakes regulatory investigations. In addition, I bring solid experience in privacy, IP, international licensing, and IT/tech law (SaaS).
Clients seek my counsel not only for complex legal issues, but also for guidance on strategic and entrepreneurial decisions, because strategy is ultimately about making the best possible choices for the future.
I deliver practical, high-quality legal and strategic advice — in a way that’s stress-free, efficient, and tailored to your business.
