Context, constraints, and measured outcomes
Each engagement lists what the client needed, what limited us, and how it finished.
Enterprise MSAs for Series B SaaS
Series B SaaS platform (anonymized at client request).
Client needed to convert 4 pending enterprise LOIs into MSAs/SOWs while preserving ARR targets.
Redlines centered on data residency, AI model usage, and uptime commitments tied to revenue milestones.
4-week quarter-end deadline; privacy team overlap; security questionnaires from three Fortune 500 buyers.
Built playbooked MSA/DPA stack with fallback positions, coordinated security responses, and ran redline sprints with a 72-hour cadence.
Closed all 4 MSAs before quarter close; preserved 96% of ACV; reduced liability cap to 1x fees with carveouts; no revenue deferrals.

Buyer flagged IP ownership gaps during diligence two weeks before signing.
