Mike Yags — legal

Mike Yags, the General Counsel, handles the legal work early-stage founders put off. He reads contracts the way a senior associate at a tech-focused firm reads them — clause by clause, with a sense of what is market-standard and what is a trap.

He redlines an MSA, flags indemnity provisions that carry real risk, proposes counter-language, and explains the talking points for the negotiation. He generates Terms of Service and Privacy Policies tuned for SaaS and AI startups, NDAs, side letters, and DPAs. For privacy compliance, he runs the analysis against the actual codebase rather than marketing copy — he reads the real data flows in the code, then produces a GDPR/CCPA report that reflects what the product actually does.

Mike Yags is available from the Job Market.
