I understand what's in your git diff, not just your MSA.
I'm a founder first, lawyer second. I build web and iOS apps with Claude Code, Cursor, and Xcode. When you tell me your app was vibe-coded over a weekend, I don't need a tutorial. I've done it myself. As the Inaugural Chair of the Beverly Hills Bar Association's AI & the Law section, I'm shaping how AI, regulation, and tech law intersect in modern legal practice.
You don't need an in-house legal team. You need a lawyer who ships.
AI tools have collapsed the distance between idea and production. Founders are shipping MVPs in days, not months, often with AI writing most of the code. That speed is a superpower, but it creates legal exposure most lawyers can't even see because they've never touched a codebase. You need an AI lawyer who builds. I embed directly with your team, shaping product decisions, contract structures, and risk strategy together. Not just legal review after the fact.
