About
Doug Johnston

Doug Johnston is General Counsel at EasyLlama, where he leads legal and compliance strategy and works across the business to handle complex regulatory challenges and support the company's growth. He has dealt firsthand with the compliance concerns our customers face. As a Big Law litigator, he guided clients through high-stakes harassment, retaliation, whistleblower, and wage and hour cases, and he advised employers on laws that apply to them across the United States.

As General Counsel for a global public company and a private equity-backed SaaS giant, he advised on global data privacy, emerging AI compliance, antitrust, import/export, consumer protection, corporate governance and ethics, global employment law, IP protection, and mergers and acquisitions. At EasyLlama, Doug puts that experience to work by aligning legal, regulatory, and product teams so the training is legally sound and built for how companies actually work today. The result helps customers stay compliant, reduce risk, and build safer workplaces.
