How we hold the line

Three things we never compromise on.

US-standard, locally executed

We hold the line on indemnities, IP, governing law and limitation of liability — even when local counterparties push back.

One desk, every paper

MSAs, SOWs, NDAs, DPAs, side letters. We track them in a single ledger so nothing gets signed twice or expires unnoticed.

Local counsel on tap

When something needs a sworn opinion in-country, we coordinate counsel in EU, UK, LATAM and APAC — and translate it back to plain English.

The flow

From inbound to closed, in four stages.

01
Intake

Counterparty drops a draft into Hampala. We classify it, flag jurisdiction, and surface the redline budget in 4 hours.

02
Redline

We mark up against your operating standard, comment to your reviewer in plain English, and run any local-law questions past counsel.

03
Negotiate

We push the redlines back to the counterparty directly, on your letterhead, and converge on a clean version.

04
Execute & file

Signature routing, executed copy filed in your contract ledger, key terms indexed, renewal date scheduled.

What you actually see

Where the line is

What's not ours.

We're embedded, not all-encompassing. Here's what stays with your team — by design.

  • We don't write US-side employment contracts — that stays with your firm.
  • We don't replace your general counsel — we report to them.
Common questions

The questions every CFO asks first.

Do you actually negotiate, or just mark up?

We negotiate. Hampala emails counterparties directly, on your domain, and pushes redlines to convergence. Your team approves the final draft.

What about local-law specifics — GDPR, labour, IP?

We hold a panel of in-country counsel. When a clause needs a sworn opinion (e.g. German labour, French IP, UK data protection) we route it and pay for it inside our retainer.

Where do executed contracts live?

In a clean ledger you can read at any time, with key terms indexed (renewal date, governing law, cap on liability, payment terms, exclusivity).

Counterparties stop emailing your COO. They email us.
