What I Offer:
Enforceable Founder Intellectual Property (IP) Assignment Contracts.
Employee Equity & Stock Option Agreements with custom vesting schedules and cliff clauses.
Protection clauses including non-compete, non-solicitation, and confidentiality obligations.
Legal safeguards against future ownership disputes from former founders or contractors.
Safeguard your intellectual property and structure your teams equity professionally.

FAQ
Why do founders need a formal IP Assignment Agreement?
Without a formal assignment, IP created prior to company incorporation remains with the individual creator rather than the legal entity, which blocks VC funding.
What is a vesting cliff clause?
A cliff requires team members to work for a specific period (typically 1 year) before any equity or options begin to vest.
Does this cover IP assignment for third-party contractors?
Yes, the contracts can be tailored to assign full IP ownership from independent contractors or freelancers to your company.
Can you handle share option schemes like EMI (UK)?
This gig covers standard equity vesting and option agreements. For complex tax-advantaged EMI schemes, contact me for a custom outline.
How do I provide the required details?
After ordering, you will complete a quick requirement form covering founder names, IP details, equity percentages, and vesting schedules.
