Meet the Founder

Hi, I'm Zainab! I’m the founder of AFRM Law, a business attorney, former litigator, and your dedicated legal partner for all things business.

Before starting this firm, I served as in-house counsel at Amazon, where I was the primary attorney for large-scale, customer-facing digital services and products. I sat alongside senior business leaders at one of the world's largest retailers, leading complex commercial matters and shaping legal strategy at scale. That experience gave me something rare: I know how successful businesses think, operate, make high-stakes decisions, and take smart risks.

I started AFRM Law because I believe every business deserves that caliber of legal thinking, not just the Fortune 500 ones. My goal is to be the strategic partner your business needs, someone who understands its goals as deeply as you do, and makes legal counsel approachable, personalized, and accessible.

Whether you're signing your first contract, scaling a startup, navigating a complex transaction, or just trying to get your legal house in order, I'm here to make it simple, stress-free, and done right.

Based in the Washington, D.C. area, I serve clients across the country.
