Legal Builder for growth-stage FinTech, blockchain, AI, and SaaS companies
Akiva is an excellent lawyer. He is responsive, able to simplify complex topics, and is a true partner. He is great at pairing excellent legal analysis with a strong commercial mindset. He would be a great addition to any team.

I worked with Akiva very closely during his time at Kaltura, often during stressful contract negotiations with customers. Besides his incredible work ethic, attention to detail and flexibility during negotiations; Akiva had a very nice disposition when interacting with his counterparts. It has been my experience with some counsel, that they sometimes take an adversarial position during negotiations, and this was NEVER the case with Akiva. He has a great personal touch during contract negotiations, and was always trying to support the sales team in order to overcome obstacles and roadblocks.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Akiva since 2017, when he served as legal counsel at a successful startup we were both part of. Over the past year, he has supported me in forming my new company and advised me on everything from advisor agreements to privacy policies and other legal complexities common to early-stage tech startups. Akiva is smart, knowledgeable, reliable, professional, and exceptionally patient. I truly enjoy working with him and highly recommend his services.

What is Akiva Miller Law?
I started Akiva Miller Law to fill the gap for cost effective and enterprise-grade counsel for growth-stage Fintech, blockchain, AI, and SaaS companies.
I advise founders and business teams on strategic legal decisions, build scalable legal processes and compliance programs, negotiate complex commercial contracts, and source outside counsel for matters requiring specialized expertise.
Let’s talk about the legal support you need for your company’s scaling.
Why work with me?
Whether you are starting a new company or have reached growth escape velocity, there comes a point when you realize you need more hands-on legal support to handle a high volume of contracts, lead complex negotiations, build processes, and guide important decision. To build a company at scale, you want a legal leader to be part of your team and get the work done, not respond with “it depends”.
I’m a legal builder and have served on solo and small legal teams at high-growth companies in New York for over 12 years. This is what I do best.
What industries and sectors do I serve?
I grew my career in B2B and B2B2C SaaS, software, AI, Fintech and blockchain companies. While I am adaptable, I would be a ideal fit for companies innovating in these sectors.
What is my fee structure?
Your legal counsel should be part of your team, not an outsider.
I prefer to work on fixed-fee or retainer arrangements that ensure I can be your true in-house counsel – affordable, predictable, and fully aligned to your business.
How can I provide full legal services working alone?
Although I work solo, I am part of HeyCounsel, a wide network of solo and boutique firms whose members share referrals, ideas, and tools across legal domains. If I don’t have the skill or knowledge to fill a particular need, I can find another highly competent lawyer to team up with. No matter is too complex or specialized to work through together.
