I will draft a founder focused llc operating agreement
Licensed US Attorney, Premium Legal Contracts and Startup Documents
About this Gig
The #1 reason startups fail is co-founder disputes. When money, equity, and intellectual property are on the line, a handshake isn't enough. You need a legally binding Founder-Focused LLC Operating Agreement.
I am Keri K. Ogden, a licensed U.S. Attorney (#313974). I specialize in drafting robust legal frameworks for co-founders that protect the business, secure intellectual property, and clearly define what happens when a founder leaves.
Key Provisions I Draft For You:
- Equity & Vesting: Clear rules on ownership splits and vesting schedules.
- Roles & Decision Making: Defined voting rights, tie-breakers, and daily responsibilities.
- Buy-Sell Provisions: What happens if a founder quits, passes away, or needs to be removed.
- Capital Contributions: Documenting who funded what, and future funding obligations.
Secure your partnership with a premium contract drafted by an experienced American lawyer.

FAQ
What is a Buy-Sell provision?
It is a crucial clause that dictates how a founder's shares are handled if they leave, die, or are fired, preventing unwanted third parties from gaining ownership.
Why do we need an IP Assignment agreement (Premium)?
Founders often create logos, code, or ideas before the LLC is formed. This agreement legally transfers ownership of that IP from the founder to the LLC.
Can you structure vesting schedules?
Yes, the Standard and Premium packages include custom drafting for time-based or milestone-based equity vesting.
What happens if founders have a 50/50 deadlock?
I draft specific dispute resolution and tie-breaker mechanisms into the agreement to ensure the business can continue operating during disagreements.
Do all founders need to sign this?
Yes, to be legally binding and effective, all named founders and members must sign the final drafted agreement.
