About this Gig

Starting a company with co-founders requires strict legal boundaries. If a founder leaves early with their full equity, your startup could become un-investable. As a licensed US Attorney (Bar #201875), I specialize in drafting Restricted Stock Purchase Agreements designed specifically to protect startups from early founder departures.


I will draft a comprehensive agreement that includes a legally enforceable vesting schedule (e.g., 4-year vesting with a 1-year cliff), ensuring founders earn their equity over time. My drafting clearly defines the company's repurchase rights, transfer restrictions, and conditions upon termination of employment (cause vs. without cause).


Additionally, I can structure single or double-trigger acceleration clauses for change-of-control events. Do not rely on internet templates for your cap table. Get a professionally drafted Restricted Stock Agreement that complies with US corporate law and prepares you for future venture capital.
