Complex legal challenges – clear operational actions (LQ Hackathon 2)
Legal isn’t a cost centre – it’s an engineering problem with humans in the loop. I’m a lawyer and engineer who builds legal strategies the way product teams build systems: tested, scalable, and designed for real-world constraints. My work sits where AI, SaaS, mobility and advanced manufacturing collide – from negotiating cloud and AI contracts to redesigning how in-house legal teams actually operate. I’ve led complex cross-border deals, M&A, BPO and transformation projects across Europe, Latin America and Asia, in-house at Total Energies and Nissan and as founder of a niche tech-focused law firm. Along the way, I’ve worked on EU-wide SaaS renegotiations, data sovereignty and IP in cloud deals, and AI liability under the EU’s evolving digital rulebook. I care less about “owning every contract” and more about building systems where legal is a multiplier. That means LegalOps, workflow automation, AI-enabled contracting and training business teams to close low-risk work without waiting for Legal. It also means doing the unglamorous work: contract standardisation, regulatory monitoring, and designing governance that actually survives contact with day-to-day operations. When I’m not redlining or redesigning processes, I create manga about in-house legal life – using storytelling to unpack the gap between how we say legal works on org charts and how it really feels inside a lean, high-pressure environment. Cool ideas get you started; engineering thinking gets you shipped. I’m here for exactly that: lawyers who think like engineers and experiments that become systems.
