Licensed US Attorney Premium Corporate and Startup Legal Contracts
About this Gig
A handshake between co-founders is a legal liability. The primary reason startups fail to secure venture capital is the lack of a formal founders agreement and a clear IP assignment. Investors need to know that your company actually owns its technology and that founder equity is structured safely.

I will draft a rigorous founders agreement, vesting schedule, and NDA agreement to ensure every founder earns their equity fairly and your startup retains complete ownership of its assets.

FAQ
Why do I need an equity vesting schedule?
Vesting ensures founders earn their shares over time. If a co-founder leaves after six months, the company keeps the unearned shares.
Why is an IP assignment necessary?
Legally, the person who writes the code or creates the brand owns it. This contract formally transfers that ownership to the startup.
Are these documents customized for my team?
Absolutely. Every agreement is uniquely drafted to match your team's specific roles and equity split.
