Anna Claxton

"We are very happy working with Anna; she helped create our MSA and SOW. We are an AI Automation/Marketing Agency based out of Newport Beach, CA, serving businesses nationwide. We just closed our first enterprise engagement and needed assistance/guidance in getting the proper legal documentation to support this size scope. Anna was the right choice. We spoke with her on a call, she listened, we messaged her, and she responded promptly and made sure we were taken care of, which is all our company can ask for. Thank you, Anna!"

"Anna's experience and expertise are clear in her work. She was highly professional and addressed all of my questions and concerns thoroughly. I would absolutely work with Anna again and recommend her without reservation."

"Anna delivered exceptional work for our pre-seed startup. We engaged her for an IP Assignment Agreement, Independent Contractor Agreement, and supporting structural documents to onboard our first international contractor. Her drafting judgment improved on the working draft we provided. The contractor classification provisions, performance equity grant mechanics, and cross-border tax framework were noticeably more rigorous than the starting point. She also handled UK and Nigerian considerations substantively (UK Copyright Designs and Patents Act moral rights waiver, IR35 framework, Nigerian tax representations), which is rare at her price point. Practical orientation throughout. She delivered a plain-language roadmap alongside the IP Assignment Agreement, making it usable for both the contractor signing it and the founder explaining it. Responsive on revisions and clear in communication. Anna combines senior general counsel depth with the responsiveness of a solo practice. For founders needing a thoughtful attorney for foundational corporate, IP, and employment documents, especially with international dimensions, I recommend her without reservation."

"Anna was exceptional to work with. She took the time to genuinely understand my platform and the specific legal space it occupies before making a recommendation. Her proposals were thorough, clearly explained, and immediately actionable. She identified risks I hadn't considered and provided practical language I could implement right away. I felt confident in the legal framework she helped me build and would not hesitate to work with her again as my platform grows."

"Good experience. She was quick, thorough, and even offered advice which was not part of the scope. Would be happy to work with her again."

"I feel so very fortunate to have found Anna on Upcounsel -- I have now worked with her twice and I will continue to work with her whenever the need arises. Her work products were always on time (or early) and meticulously crafted with thoughtful design to minimize my risk. She is very knowledgeable, very intelligent and a pleasure to work with. Thank you, Anna!!"
