Ola Law was founded on a simple idea: tech companies and those buying tech deserve legal counsel that moves at their pace and speaks their language.
Fatima Khan, Founder
Our founder built Ola Law after seeing firsthand how traditional firms did not prioritize high-growth tech clients compared to institutional beheamoths.
Fatima is a seasoned legal executive and advisor for technology companies. Her practice spans fractional general counsel, tech product regulatory, privacy, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence (AI) governance, and commercial. She has helped usher tech companies through several transformational events, including buy and sell side M&A, regulatory inquiries, and built out entire commercial and regulatory functions within organizations (from an advisory and legal ops standpoint).
Fatima is a native Texan who has had the opportunity to experience living in different parts of the world, such as in California, Argentina, Italy.
