INDUSTRY INSIGHT
It's rarely deliberate. Decisions get made fast, and the legal side gets a quiet "we'll deal with it later." A customer contract that quietly stopped matching the product. A vendor onboarded without a data agreement. A contractor who started before anyone took the IP assignment. None of these are mistakes, they're what happens when a company moves at the speed tech innovation demands.
My job is to spot them early and close the gap between what the business actually does and what its contracts say it does, long before an investor, an buyer or a procurement team starts looking. Get that right, and legal stops being the thing that slows a deal down. It becomes the reason the deal gets over the line.
