About Me
Hi,
My name is Hung Chang, and I am an experienced lawyer who helps tech startups move fast, smart, and legally sound.
I work with founders, product teams, and companies navigating the complex (and often messy) legal and regulatory issues that come with building something new. Whether you’re launching your first MVP, onboarding users, signing your first commercial deals, raising capital, or issuing tokens, I’m here to make sure legal isn’t the thing that slows you down (or worse, catches up to you later.)
With 15+ years of experience spanning global tech companies and in-house legal leadership, I’ve supported companies from first check through scale. I’ve helped build legal foundations for companies in Web3, AI, enterprise SaaS, and gaming. I know how to meet you where you are - offering pragmatic, no-fluff legal advice that fits your stage and budget.

Let’s Work Together
I’m not your traditional lawyer. I speak founder, I’ve worked inside startups, and I understand the hustle. I act as an extension of your team - hands-on, business-minded, and focused on what matters now and what could trip you up later.
If you're looking for a trusted legal partner to help you build responsibly and scale confidently, let’s talk.
