About this Gig
The most common reason startups fail isn't the competition; it's a legal dispute among the founders. You must protect your equity and operational control. As a licensed U.S. Attorney (BAR ID: 301262), I draft enforceable founders agreements and partnership contracts for serious business owners.
Verbal promises hold zero weight in U.S. corporate law. Whether you are forming an LLC or a C-Corp, I draft precise partnership contracts that explicitly outline equity distribution, vesting schedules, and what happens if a co-founder decides to leave early.
Critical elements I cover:
- Equity ownership percentages and strict vesting timelines (cliff periods).
- Daily roles, financial responsibilities, and voting rights of each partner.
- Full Intellectual Property (IP) assignment directly to your company entity.
No serious investor will fund your startup if you do not have a legally sound founders agreement in place. Start your business on a solid legal foundation. Send me your partnership details, and I will draft a contract that protects your future.

FAQ
Do you include a vesting schedule so a founder can't leave early with all their equity?
Absolutely. The Standard and Premium packages include standard startup equity vesting schedules (usually a 4-year vest with a 1-year cliff) to protect the business.
Does this agreement ensure the business owns the intellectual property, not the individuals?
Yes. I include a mandatory IP assignment clause ensuring all branding, code, and ideas created by the founders legally belong to the company.
Can this be tailored for an LLC instead of a traditional startup corporation?
Yes, I will seamlessly adapt the legal structure to function perfectly as an LLC Operating/Partnership Agreement based on your business structure.
