I will draft founder conflict resolution and separation agreements
Licensed US Attorney, Startup Governance, Founder Agreements
About this Gig
When a startup founder relationship breaks down beyond repair, a clean, legally binding break is mandatory. If an exit or settlement is handled informally, the departing founder can return years later to sue for equity, claim ownership of Intellectual Property, or steal your clients.
As a Licensed US Attorney (Bar #51831), I draft highly sensitive Founder Conflict Resolution, Separation, and Buyout Agreements. My priority is to protect the company's assets, finalize the separation cleanly, and prevent future litigation.
This gig provides documentation for:
- Founder Buyouts and Equity Surrender
- Mutual Release of Claims (preventing future lawsuits)
- Strict Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) and Non-Disparagement clauses
- Post-exit Non-Compete and Non-Solicitation agreements
- Final IP Assignment and transition of company assets
When a dispute arises, precision is everything. Do not rely on templates for a high-stakes separation. Choose the appropriate package and let me secure a legally sound resolution for your company today.

FAQ
Does this guarantee the departing founder won't sue?
A Mutual Release of Claims agreement is the strongest legal shield against future lawsuits regarding their time at the company.
What if the founder refuses to sign?
I provide the legally sound documentation to offer them. If they refuse, you may require formal litigation counsel, but a strong settlement offer is always the first step.
Does this cover what happens to their unvested shares?
Absolutely. The separation agreement will detail exactly how many shares they retain (if any) and the surrender of unvested equity.
Can we stop them from trash-talking the startup?
Yes, the Standard and Premium packages include strict Non-Disparagement clauses to protect your brand reputation.
Is this gig confidential?
As a licensed attorney, all communications and document drafting are handled with the highest level of strict confidentiality.
