Tech Lawyer, Legal AI Nerd, Apparently an Author Now - Helping founders with Terms and Privacy.
Hey everyone, I'm Adam Jabbar, tech and AI compliance consultant, working with SaaS and AI founders mostly in the US and Europe. I chose Technology Law deliberately. When everyone in law school was chasing corporate litigation, I was obsessing over where technology and law were going to collide. That was before "tech lawyer" was even a real job title. Took a while to convince people it mattered. It matters now.
Somewhere along the way that obsession with Legal AI got out of hand when i thought AI would take a lawyers job, I ended up writing ChatGPT for Lawyers, which somehow hit #1 on Amazon. Still not fully over that. The book came from genuinely believing AI was about to reshape the legal profession and nobody was talking about it practically. Turns out a lot of lawyers felt the same way.
On the consulting side I've spent years drafting Terms of Service, Privacy Policies, AI compliance frameworks — over 2,000 platforms across 30+ countries (Fiverr and Upwork mainly). The AI policy work is what I find most interesting right now. It's genuinely new territory. Most lawyers don't fully understand it yet either.
The thing that still gets me though, I reviewed a founder's policies last year and his Terms of Service were word for word copied from his direct competitor. Same company name. Different product entirely. He'd been live for 8 months. Completely unprotected. Didn't even know it. Just grabbed what looked professional and shipped.
That happens more than people think. Founders are brilliant at building. Legal is just the thing nobody warned them about.
Anyway — happy to be here on Product Hunt. If you're ever curious whether your policies are actually protecting you or just sitting there looking official, happy to take a look.

Hi Adam, great to see you here!
And that story about the founder with the copy-pasted competitor's ToS is a perfect (if slightly horrifying) example of exactly the gap that's most interesting to me right now.
I work in marketing at Precisely Contracts which is a CLM tool, and I'm also now working on Lexnus. Lexnus is a brand new product and the problem we're built around is basically the enforcement side of what you're describing on the AI compliance side. Legal teams (and founders) can have the right policy on paper, but nothing checks whether what actually gets drafted or signed matches it. AI made drafting faster, but faster isn't the same as "checked against your actual standards" and that gap is exactly where things like that ToS story happen.
Given how deep you are in AI compliance specifically, I'd genuinely value your take now that we're live. You're seeing the frontier of this from the advisory side, we're building for the enforcement side, and I suspect there's more overlap than most people realize.
