We embed with your team as fractional General Counsel, bringing the strategic depth of a seasoned legal department — without the overhead. We've sat in both seats — product and legal. That's how we help you get to yes.
Built for companies that have proved something real and need counsel that understands the terrain ahead — commercial partnerships, privacy, AI, governance.
Full-time or part-time, for a few months or indefinitely. Flexible engagement that scales with your stage.
A lawyer who's sat on both sides of the table. Veliz began her career handling complex corporate transactions at Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton, built the Product Counseling, Privacy and Regulatory functions at Eventbrite, and held operating roles at LinkedIn and Vera Security.
She's navigated the moments that matter most—product launches, privacy decisions, regulatory shifts, commercial negotiations. At First Summit, she brings strategic counsel embedded in your team: fast, pragmatic, and oriented to your business.
Counsel for the ascent.
