Nicole G,
Esq.
SaaS contracts attorney. AI governance practitioner. Founder of The SaaS Law Clinic: the corporate training program for in-house counsel, contracts, procurement, and product teams negotiating modern SaaS, AI vendor, and data-processing agreements.
The work behind the curriculum.
Nicole has spent her career inside the rooms where SaaS, content licensing, and AI vendor agreements actually get negotiated: across the table from the legal and contracting teams at the largest platforms in tech and media. The clauses you read about in headlines are the clauses she’s spent years drafting, redlining, and walking back into the deal after legal review tried to cut them.
She founded The SaaS Law Clinic because the practice she was running for her clients didn’t exist anywhere as a curriculum. Other attorneys, in-house teams, and procurement leads were asking the same questions over and over: about Article 28, about AI Use Policies, about indemnity caps and IP carve-outs and the new procurement checkboxes that started killing deals once AI vendors entered the room. So she built the program she’d been delivering one client at a time. End-to-end. Operational. Refreshed quarterly as the law moves.
Today, she leads CSLA, the Certified SaaS Law Attorney program, and the Privacy & GDPR Mastery certification. She licenses the corporate training curriculum to in-house teams from mid-market SaaS through enterprise. And she ships turnkey attorney-drafted products like AI Policy in a Box for the businesses that need the work done, not taught.
Her writing on AI law, SaaS contract architecture, and privacy operations runs in her Substack and across guest essays in industry publications. She tracks the Colorado AI Act, EU AI Act, and Article 28 sub-processor mess weekly, because that’s the practice.

How I work.
Four operating principles that shape the curriculum, the corporate program, and every client engagement.
The deal is the curriculum.
Generic CLEs don't move the needle. Real practice happens at the table, on real contracts. So that's what we teach.
Operations beat eloquence.
A defensible DPA, a working sub-processor list, an AI policy that survives procurement. Those are what change the deal. Not the elegant clause.
Procurement is the audience.
Every contract gets read by procurement before it gets signed. Train, draft, and negotiate for that reader.
The practice has to keep moving.
AI law is shipping faster than any other area I've ever worked. Quarterly content refreshes. Constant vendor and clause monitoring. The work is never finished.
