FAQ
Why do founders need equity vesting schedules?
Vesting schedules protect the company if a co-founder leaves prematurely. By mandating a 1-year cliff and 4-year vesting, you prevent departing partners from walking away with significant equity without contributing work.
What is an IP assignment clause and why is it critical?
Without an IP assignment clause, intellectual property belongs to the individual founder who created it, not the company. Investors will refuse to fund your startup until all IP is formally owned by the entity.
How does a Joint Venture differ from a Partnership?
A Joint Venture is generally established for a specific project or time-limited commercial initiative, whereas a partnership represents an ongoing general business enterprise with joint unlimited liability.
What happens if partners reach a 50/50 management deadlock?
My agreements incorporate clear tie-breaking mechanisms, such as mediation, executive escalation, or buy-sell "shotgun" clauses, preventing operational paralysis or court-ordered dissolution.
Does this gig create an attorney-client relationship?
This service is limited to document drafting and transactional review. It does not establish a general or ongoing attorney-client representation under state bar disciplinary standards.
