I will write airtight founder and shareholder contracts
Licensed U S Attorney, Premium Legal Agreements for Startups and Businesses
About this Gig
The most common reason promising startups fail is due to founder disputes. Without a clear, legally binding agreement detailing equity ownership, vesting schedules, and exit strategies, your company is at severe risk from day one.
I am Francis Xavier Nolan III, a licensed U.S. attorney (Bar No. #69628). I specialize in drafting highly customized founder and shareholder contracts that align incentives, prevent future litigation, and prepare your cap table for institutional investment.
My Services Cover:
Equity allocation and milestone-based vesting schedules
Cliff provisions and restricted stock terms
Dispute resolution and deadlock-breaking mechanisms
Buy-sell provisions and rights of first refusal
Complete intellectual property assignment to the entity
Do not leave your equity to a handshake. I will draft agreements that protect the company, protect your shares, and provide a clear roadmap for your corporate governance.
Contact me via the Fiverr messaging platform today to secure your startups ownership structure.

FAQ
Do I need this if I am the only founder?
Even single founders need an IP Assignment Agreement to prove to future investors that the company owns its core assets.
What if one founder wants to sell their shares later?
My Standard and Premium agreements include Rights of First Refusal (ROFR) and transfer restrictions to control who can buy shares.
Does this cover intellectual property?
Yes, the Premium package and the standalone Basic package include specific, rigorous clauses assigning all founder-created IP to the company.
Can you include a "cliff" in the founders agreement?
Yes. I typically draft a standard 1-year cliff into vesting schedules, but this can be customized to your exact requirements.
Why do I need a vesting schedule?
Vesting ensures founders earn their equity over time. If a founder leaves early, unvested shares are returned to the company, protecting the remaining team.
