Terence Krueger

As an independent lawyer, I assist companies and founders with cross-border business law issues in Europe and Africa, specializing in commercial contracts, corporate governance, and regulatory risk management. My approach combines rigorous legal engineering with a strong operational culture, aiming to maintain negotiation momentum, ensure the enforceability of contractual documents, and guarantee pragmatic execution of operations.

Since September 2023, I have structured and finalized 45 agreements (MSA/SoW, confidentiality agreements, service contracts, partnerships, shareholder documentation) and provided end-to-end legal execution on over 18 cases in four jurisdictions, from letter of intent to closing, including risk identification, contractual negotiation (redlines), stakeholder alignment, preparation of closing files, and post-signature follow-up. I have also implemented evolving governance frameworks for eight entities (company formation, bylaws and shareholders' agreements, capital operations, documentation for boards of directors and general meetings), standardizing decision-making processes and approval workflows to reduce friction and accelerate execution.

I handle transactions and projects with values between 5 and 15 million euros, including, where applicable, the preparation of investment documentation and formalities with the competent authorities. I generally provide proposals for operational contractual modifications within 48 to 72 hours for priority negotiations. I also design reusable contractual templates and tools (templates, negotiation points, closing checklists) to improve the speed and consistency of recurring interventions.
