Aliya is the most human lawyer I have worked with. She knows how to help founders in both a legal and pragmatic way and most importantly, solves problems.

Aliya has a truly unbeatable combination of legal expertise, business acumen, and human understanding that enables her to provide a level of guidance that goes far beyond standard fractional GC work. I originally engaged her for help negotiating and drafting Hansa's customer MSAs, and our work together quickly evolved into her becoming my key advisor on many of my most strategic decisions. Aliya starts each project at the business level and does an incredible job of helping me work through what I'm trying to accomplish. She forces me to zoom out and challenges me to think through the 'why' of each decision with a level of care and commitment that one would be lucky to find in a cofounder. She has a keen instinct for just how much to ask for in negotiations, which has genuinely changed the outcome of each deal she's worked on with us. Aliya has become my first call when it comes to strategy, and we're lucky to have her on our team.

Aliya carries herself with a high level of integrity and poise which combined with her smarts makes her a force to be reckoned with. Aliya is a strong negotiator and I appreciated having her in my corner while confronting corporate challenges.

Aliya is one of the most amazing people I've ever had the privilege to work with. Legal & Sales don't always have the best track record for "gelling well together" because any legal "speed bumps" during a close can be incredibly time consuming for the sales organization. When Aliya joined Bombora virtually all of that friction was removed! She was lightning fast at taking care of business for new contracts (many of which were often nuanced and riddled with fine details) and she was the best legal negotiator I've ever seen. Countless times Aliya was able to mediate terms between Bombora and client legal counsels to resolve conflicts, and every time the outcome was pure perfection. Her intellect, attention to detail, and amazing customer communication skillset definitely changed the game for us here at Bombora!

It's rare to find that perfect balance of caring deeply about everyone involved, while also wanting to "win", while also needing to move super quickly - Aliya nailed it.

Not only is Aliya an incredibly talented and intelligent, but she is also incredibly kind. This is a rare combination . . . She was also considered one of the most knowledgeable, credible, and enjoyable colleagues to work with during my time at J.P. Morgan. If you have the opportunity to have Aliya on your team, you are truly lucky!
