Fractional counsel for companies navigating data privacy, AI governance, and the technology contracts that run their business.

A lawyer who reads the code and the contract.

I bring big-law experience and genuine technical fluency to fractional engagements, giving everyone from growing companies to global enterprises sophisticated, nimble counsel without the overhead of a firm. I work where data privacy, technology contracts, and emerging AI questions meet. And I meet you where you are, whether that's strengthening what you've built or helping you structure what's next.

Fractional Counsel

The ongoing legal support a growing company needs, without a full-time hire: commercial and vendor contracting, day-to-day risk and liability questions, and the judgment calls that come up as you scale. I work as an extension of your team; someone close enough to understand the business, structured enough to keep you out of trouble. Sophisticated counsel, scaled to what you actually need.

Privacy and AI Governance

The questions AI raises:  how data is collected, used, and governed; what your contracts with AI vendors actually commit you to; how privacy law applies to new tools; all  sit at the intersection of data regulation, technical understanding, and careful contract structuring. That intersection is where I work. I help companies think through data-governance obligations under CCPA/CPRA and state data statutes, structure vendor and data-processing terms, and build the privacy groundwork that responsible tech and AI adoption depend on.

Technology Transactions

Technology agreements written and negotiated for your company, including MSAs, SOWs, enterprise and SaaS agreements, procurement, and data terms from a lawyer who understands both your code and your business model. My background in software gives me a read on the technical substance most lawyers paraphrase around, which means tighter terms and fewer surprises downstream.

Finance

Drawing on experience with complex financial transactions and credit facilities, I also advise on finance-adjacent matters for the right engagement.

Fixed-Fee Packages

Scoped and priced options.

Early-stage rates apply to companies that are under 50 employees or pre–Series B - confirmed on the scoping call.

Counsel Block

Prepaid senior counsel hours you draw on as matters come up - a contract to review, a data-compliance question, a “can we do this?” before you commit. No retainer, no full-time hire.

Use your hours for:
  • Contract review, both sides of the table: your ToS under enterprise redlines, their vendor paper, and everything the deal drags in

  • Privacy, AI, and data-governance questions

  • AI vendor & feature review - before a model touches your data

  • Partnership & channel deals: reseller, whitelabel, and revenue-share terms that don't cost you your product

  • The “can we do this?” product call before you ship

  • Plus the rest of running a company: financing and lease review, negotiation support, contract disputes

  • Not sure it's a fit? Bring the contract or problem to the call - that's what it's for.

Victoria Lee

I'm Victoria (Jungmee) Lee, a corporate attorney providing fractional counsel and strategic legal support to modern companies from growing startups to global enterprises. I work as fractional counsel; I am there when you need additional legal support, and easy to step back to when you don't. Not a full-time hire and not the overhead of a firm but rather support that scales to the moment, whether that's a single matter, a busy stretch, or ongoing help you can pick back up whenever the need returns.

Over more than a decade, I've worked across complex financial transactions, corporate matters, procurement, and technology contracts, serving as a legal and business advisor to companies navigating growth, transactions, and the operational questions that come with scaling. My practice centers on data privacy, technology transactions, and commercial contracting, with a growing focus on the governance questions emerging technology and AI raise for businesses.

What sets my practice apart is technical fluency. Before returning to full-time legal work, I spent two years in frontend web development and legal technology strategy, which is a foundation for how I advise today. I read the systems and data flows underneath a contract, not just the contract language, which is exactly the lens that technology transactions, privacy, and AI governance demand.

I currently serve on the New Jersey State Bar Association In-House Counsel Committee for the 2025–2026 year. I'm a graduate of Harvard Law School and admitted to practice in New York and New Jersey.
