“Ray's consulting skills are fantastic: He's given me a lot of valuable insight into M&A due diligence processes and open source software licensing. He immediately understood my questions and answered them with just the right amount of detail from both legal and technology perspectives. Ray also gave me not just one but two suggestions that I originally never really considered but which made perfect sense in retrospect and I intend to pursue further. I'm very glad to have spoken with him and now know him as a great resource for any further technology law questions I may have.”

About
Tech lawyer who also actually builds tech.
I co-founded LegalQuants + I post concise and original analysis on AI legal, regulatory, policy and geopolitical developments around the world (particularly, the Global South). I like to go deep into market and tech culture, and understand
1) what is driving policy and regulatory changes, and
2) what makes each country unique from others.
Strategic intel to help you get ahead of the curve and predict changes in advance.
