– implementation of usage monitoring systems

My expertise helps you to develop economically sustainable API strategies.

As a lawyer with extensive experience as a tech entrepreneur, I offer you a unique perspective on the legally compliant integration of APIs and third-party services. I understand not only the legal intricacies, but also the technical and business implications of API integrations.

My goal is to develop legal strategies that safeguard your SaaS startup when integrating APIs while enabling innovation and growth. By combining my legal expertise with practical business experience, I can help you leverage APIs as a strategic advantage for your business.
