Gagandeep Waraich is an attorney and legal operations strategist with a background spanning trial litigation, corporate transactions, business operations, compliance, intellectual property, and international commercial matters. He brings a rare combination of courtroom judgment and business-side execution, with experience advising on contracts, risk allocation, corporate structure, commercial negotiations, regulatory exposure, and dispute prevention.

As Head of Legal Operations for Kismet XYZ Inc. and legal counsel for Kismet Trades, Gagandeep supports business development and transaction execution across domestic and international matters. His work includes drafting, reviewing, and negotiating commercial agreements, joint venture documents, non-circumvention and confidentiality agreements, referral and commission structures, services agreements, corporate governance materials, intellectual property and trademark-related matters, and international trade documentation involving ICC-based commercial practices. He is especially focused on building legal frameworks that allow business teams to move quickly without losing control of risk.

Before moving into business and corporate legal operations, Gagandeep built his foundation as a trial attorney. He served as a Deputy Public Defender in Orange County, where he handled criminal cases from intake through trial, litigated suppression and discovery motions, cross-examined expert witnesses, conducted preliminary hearings, negotiated case resolutions, and tried jury cases. He later served as Deputy Trial Counsel for the State Bar of California, investigating and prosecuting attorney discipline matters involving professional responsibility and ethics. That background gives him a practical, adversarial understanding of evidence, credibility, leverage, and consequences — skills that carry directly into business negotiations and risk management.

Gagandeep’s legal practice is built around one core principle: strong legal work should make business easier, not slower. He helps teams identify what matters, document it clearly, protect the upside, and avoid avoidable exposure. Whether advising on a domestic contract, an international trade structure, a brand/IP issue, a compliance question, or a high-stakes negotiation, he approaches the work with the same discipline: understand the deal, control the risk, and keep the business moving.
