Licensed US Attorney Ironclad Legal Protection for Startups and Founders
About this Gig
Welcome. I am Jessica Robyn Lee James, a Licensed US Attorney (Bar #282276).
The number one reason startups fail is co-founder disputes. Handshake deals and vague equity splits are a massive liability. I draft comprehensive founder and shareholder agreements that explicitly define equity distribution, vesting schedules, roles, and exit strategies, ensuring your company remains stable as it grows.
I specialize in drafting:
- Co-Founder Agreements
- Shareholder Agreements
- Partnership Agreements
- Intellectual Property (IP) Assignment Agreements
- Equity Vesting Schedules
What is included?
Your documents will include crucial protective mechanisms such as Buy/Sell clauses, Right of First Refusal, and Deadlock resolution strategies.
Protect your equity and prevent future litigation by establishing clear, legally binding rules among founders.
Choose the package that fits your current team structure and place your order today for precise, attorney-crafted legal documentation.

FAQ
Why do I need a Founder Agreement?
It legally dictates how equity is split, what happens if a founder leaves, and who owns the Intellectual Property.
Do you include vesting schedules?
Yes, Standard and Premium packages include customized vesting schedules (e.g., 4-year vesting with a 1-year cliff).
Can you handle complex equity splits?
Yes. I can structure the agreement to reflect unequal equity, sweat equity, or capital contributions.
Does this cover Intellectual Property (IP)?
Yes, all my founder agreements include an IP assignment clause ensuring the startup owns all created assets.
What state laws apply to these contracts?
I draft these contracts in compliance with the state laws where your business is incorporated (e.g., Delaware, Wyoming).
