About Assal Khosravi

With over a decade of in-house experience at the intersection of aerospace, technology, and government contracting, I’ve learned that legal acumen alone isn’t what moves business forward. Real impact comes from understanding the nuance — when to advocate, when to listen, and when to step back so the business can lead.I support executive teams through complex transactions, regulatory decisions, and high-stakes operational pivots. Whether navigating proprietary data rights, structuring novel agreements, or advising on enterprise risk strategy, I bring legal clarity to dynamic environments.I’m passionate about simplifying complexity, building strong internal partnerships, and making legal a strategic enabler, not just a safeguard.
