Selene the Lawyer

The Goal

My goal is for (online) entrepreneurs, creators & brands to have access to high-quality but affordable contract templates that will get them legally compliant, fully protected & paid.

The Problem

There are tons of lawyers and free contract templates online. But here’s the thing:

  • Poor quality: Many are poorly drafted and lack crucial (niche-specific) protections—definitely not the quality of a contract drafted by a lawyer coming from Big Law.

  • Not globally applicable: Most are made for a single jurisdiction (often the US), while most (online) entrepreneurs, brands and creators work globally.

  • Not easy to use: Contracts need to be clear, customisable, and easy to understand.

The Solution

That is why I, with the help of licensed lawyers in different jurisdictions, created internationally usable contract templates specifically for entrepreneurs, creators & brands that:

  • are customisable to suit your unique business & niche

  • are understandable & complete, so both you & your viewers, users, clients, affiliates & business partners

  • protect you against miscommunications, claims, and legal disputes

  • are legally compliant with all laws around websites, online marketing & consumer protection

  • prevent late payments, termination without payment, and other common business risks

  • are super affordable because everyone deserves access to proper legal protection

Meet Selene

I am an international business lawyer proudly registered with The Netherlands Bar in Amsterdam, where I maintain my second home. However, my main residence is in Ohio, USA, with my family.

Having both a Dutch and US nationality, I navigate the complexities of international business with a unique perspective.

As a former M&A lawyer in Big Law, where I specialised in mergers and acquisitions with parties from all around the world, I am an expert at drafting, reviewing, and negotiating international contracts.

Driven by a passion for supporting small entrepreneurs, brands, and creators, I left my career in Big Law to use my legal skills for those who need them most.

Whether you're starting your entrepreneurship journey or a seasoned creator, I am dedicated to providing the same level of quality legal expertise exclusively associated with Big Law that transcends geographical boundaries but at a fraction of the cost so that you can access it, too.

My mission is to empower small businesses, brands, and creators with contract templates to protect their business, money, time, and freedom.

Although I am no longer active in the M&A world, I still draft and negotiate contracts for venture capital deals that involve tech startups. Check out my latest deals on this deal list.
