⚖️ Securing Your Cutting-Edge Innovation
Technological innovation often outpaces regulation. In this gray area, you don't need a lawyer to just tell you 'it's risky,' but a partner who can turn uncertainty into actionable decisions.
As a legal consultant and data protection officer (external DPO), I act as an extension of your technical team (CTO, Product, CISO). My approach is like a 'Legal API': I plug into your processes to inject compliance and security without slowing down your operations.
About me: I hold an LL.M. in Information Technology Law (UdeM) and a Master's degree in Business Law (Paris V). I also teach technology law at Polytechnique Montréal.
🚀 What I Bring to Your Project
Legal & Tech Culture: I speak 'product' as much as 'risk' to deliver outputs that are genuinely useful to teams.
'Frontier Law' Stance: Thinking about new subjects (Generative AI, DAOs, Algorithms) where case law is still being built.
Startup Agility: The expertise of a lawyer combined with the execution speed you need for your go-to-market.
🛠️ Areas of Expertise & Deliverables
I assist visionary entrepreneurs with the following issues:
- AI & Data Governance: Legal framework for use cases, transparency, internal policies, and liability management.
- Privacy Protection: Compliance audits, conducting Privacy Impact Assessments (PIAs), incident management, and compliance programs.
- Tech Contracts & Commercialization: Drafting and negotiating SaaS agreements, licenses, partnerships, and structuring intellectual property (IP).
- External DPO / PPRS: Ongoing support as a fractional Personal Information Protection Officer.
