Licensed US Attorney, Startup and Corporate Law Expert
About this Gig
Are you launching a startup? Handshake deals and generic templates leave your company vulnerable to co-founder disputes and dead equity.
I am Jessica Hana Nin, a licensed U.S. Attorney (Bar No. 010247). I specialize in drafting ironclad co-founder equity and vesting agreements that protect your cap table and ensure all founders earn their shares through continued contribution.
What I provide:
- Co-Founder Equity Agreements: Clearly define roles, decision-making, and equity splits.
- Vesting Schedules: Implement standard (e.g., 4-year/1-year cliff) or custom vesting rules to protect the company if a founder leaves.
- IP Assignment: Ensure all intellectual property created by founders belongs exclusively to your startup.
Investors expect clean, legally sound founder agreements before they fund your business. Don't risk your startups future on copied-and-pasted templates.

FAQ
Why do I need a vesting schedule?
Vesting ensures founders earn their equity over time. If a founder leaves early, unvested shares return to the company, protecting your cap table.
What information do you need to start?
I will need your company name, state of incorporation, founder names, equity percentages, and desired vesting terms.
Are these agreements tailored to my specific state?
Yes, I customize all legal agreements to comply with the corporate laws of your specific U.S. state of incorporation.
Does this include IP assignment?
The Premium package includes a full Intellectual Property Assignment clause, ensuring your startup owns everything the founders create.
Can you draft custom vesting milestones?
Absolutely. If you prefer milestone-based vesting rather than time-based vesting, I can structure the contract accordingly in the Standard or Premium packages.
