Legal Strategy That Moves as Fast as Your Business
Sally Baraka is the founder of Solversa Legal Solutions PLLC, a boutique IP law firm built for technology companies and investors who need legal strategy to move as fast as their business. With a rare background in computer science and law, Sally doesn’t just interpret regulations; she designs legal foundations that enable innovation.
Sally has led over $6.5 billion in private equity-backed transactions, including landmark deals for firms like Turn/River, Summit Partners, THL, Goldman Sachs, New Mountain Capital, and Thoma Bravo. As General Counsel at Redwood Software, she orchestrated the company’s sale to Vista Equity Partners and Warburg Pincus in 2024, driving savings through legal restructuring and tax optimization. She also played a pivotal role in the sale of Alfresco to Hyland Software and Paycor to Apax Partners. At Sparta Systems, she led two successful recapitalizations, doubling EBITDA in four years by aligning legal strategy with the value creation objectives of senior leadership teams and their PE owners.
Sally has supported SaaS businesses from the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and the UK. She has implemented SaaS agreement playbooks that standardized contracts and reduced friction in negotiations, while her work in transfer pricing and intercompany agreements has saved clients millions, enabling tax-efficient expansion. International founders rely on Sally to protect their interests in unfamiliar legal systems, ensuring they preserve the value of the intended deal.
Sally bridges the gap between engineering and legal teams. She has designed legal frameworks for AI product rollouts, secured data usage rights, and ensured compliance with global privacy laws—all while keeping innovation on track. Tech leaders choose Sally because she speaks the language of both engineers and regulators, delivering legal solutions that align with how technology actually works.
