@erinmaree1
Admitted attorney specialising in corporate law, due diligence, privacy and legal technology integration.
What I'm looking for
I am an admitted Attorney of the High Court with over four years' experience in corporate law, in-house counsel roles and private practice supporting international clients. My work focuses on transactional matters, venture capital instruments and complex due diligence for tech-focused investments.
I have led large-scale regulatory remediation projects, including the review and revision of over 2,000 insurance policies, and conducted due diligence for 100+ tech startup investments, negotiating SAFEs and convertible notes and advising on cap table implications.
I design and implement legal technology solutions—SharePoint, Power Automate and Power BI—to automate compliance workflows, build DSAR processes and deliver real-time compliance reporting, improving efficiency and reducing legal risk for clients.
I provide outsourced DPO and privacy management services, advise on GDPR and the EU AI Act, draft and negotiate NDAs/DPAs, and collaborate cross-functionally to embed privacy-by-design and strengthen regulatory readiness.
