Practice Areas

Full-spectrum commercial contract work

From the first vendor review to a closed enterprise deal, I work across every stage of the contract life cycle so your team can keep moving.

01

Procurement

Review, revise, and negotiate vendor contracts including SaaS agreements, professional services and consulting agreements, MSAs, SOWs, order forms, and marketing agreements. I work as overflow counsel or your sole procurement attorney.

02

Sales

Business-minded solutions to help you sell software, services, and products. I partner with sales, finance, privacy, and security stakeholders to surface risk, address customer concerns, and close high-value deals.

03

Product

Outside product and go-to-market counsel to help clients launch new products and features with the contractual and commercial groundwork already in place.

04

AI, Privacy & Security

Draft and negotiate AI, privacy, and security terms, developing practical solutions that reduce both internal and external friction without slowing the business down.

05

Mergers & Acquisitions

Strategic guidance from due diligence through post-closing integration, with an emphasis on the commercial contracts that carry real value and risk through a transaction.

06

Employment

A bespoke employment practice representing individuals in reviewing offer letters, equity packages, and separation agreements.

The Approach

Counsel that thinks like an operator

"I view myself as an extension of your team, not an outside cost center."

  • Overflow or sole counsel. Plug into an existing procurement team or run the function end to end. You decide the level.
  • Deal-closing, not deal-blocking. Practical solutions that manage risk while keeping momentum on high-value contracts.
  • Cross-functional by default. I work directly with sales, finance, privacy, and security stakeholders to get to yes.
  • Built for the long term. The goal is a business relationship that lasts years, not a single matter.

Linda Randle
VP Global Procurement, Medallia

Josh was absolutely amazing and I have already started recommending him to everyone I know. He was dedicated to the task and always gave me his full attention. He helped us maneuver around some complicated and ill-advised contract language, which was exactly what we needed. Josh is a top-notch lawyer and the guy for the job.

Mike Bodkin
CEO, Giant Propeller

I've had the privilege of working with Josh at two different companies. He was instrumental during a company's hypergrowth phase with inbound commercial contracts, and also assisted with process definition, live negotiations, and managing internal stakeholders. His experience and positive can-do attitude made working with him a pleasure.
