Karch Legal, PC
Privacy and commercial counsel for growing companies
I founded Karch Legal to help my clients navigate the legal, business, and reputational risks of the digital economy.
I blend experience in data privacy, consumer protection, and intellectual property with expertise in negotiating commercial agreements to lay foundations for growth and strong relationships.
After earning my JD from Stanford Law School, I practiced at top global law firms and in-house at Samsara before its successful IPO. That experience gave me insight on how to give clients what they really need: actionable, practical guidance.
