I will draft a founders agreement or business partnership contract
Licensed US Attorney Premium Business Contracts and Legal Drafting
About this Gig
Most business disputes happen not with competitors, but between business partners. A handshake is not enough. As a licensed US Attorney (Bar #243731), I draft comprehensive Founders, Partnership, and Shareholder Agreements that protect your equity and prevent future litigation.
Whether you are launching a tech startup, forming a joint venture, or issuing shares in a corporation, a custom-drafted agreement is critical to outline expectations and exit strategies.
Key Provisions I Include:
- Equity & Vesting: Defining how and when founders earn their shares (e.g., 4-year vesting with a 1-year cliff).
- Roles & Responsibilities: Clearly outlining who does what.
- Profit & Loss Distribution: How money is handled.
- Buy-Sell Agreements: What happens if a partner dies, goes bankrupt, or wants to leave.
- Dispute Resolution & Deadlock: Mechanisms to break voting ties without dissolving the company.

FAQ
What is the difference between a Founders Agreement and an Operating Agreement?
An Operating Agreement is legally required to govern an LLC. A Founders Agreement is a broader contract between co-founders regarding equity, IP, and duties, often used before an entity is formally registered.
Do you include vesting schedules?
Yes. I highly recommend vesting schedules for startups to ensure partners don't walk away with half the company after one month. I can draft custom vesting terms.
What happens if a partner wants to leave the business?
My Standard and Premium packages include "Buy-Sell" or "Right of First Refusal" clauses, dictating exactly how departing partners must sell their shares back to the company.
