I will prepare startup equity and partner ownership agreements
Licensed US Attorney Bulletproof Legal Frameworks for Startups
About this Gig
Equity is the most valuable currency your startup has. Do not give it away without strict legal conditions. I am Lance Thomas Bury, Licensed US Attorney (Bar #138321), and I draft high-level Startup Equity and Ownership Agreements.
If a partner gets 50% equity and quits after two months, they keep half your companyunless you have a proper Ownership Agreement with a Vesting Schedule. I draft sophisticated equity documents that protect the founders who stay and do the work.
What I draft for you:
- Equity Allocation & Share Classes
- Vesting Schedules & Cliff Periods
- Buy-Sell Agreements (Preventing unwanted third-party owners)
- Drag-Along and Tag-Along Rights
- Voting Rights and Board Control
Ensure your cap table is protected. Order the package that suits your ownership structure, provide your details, and receive a professional, legally binding equity agreement.

FAQ
What is a vesting schedule?
It means founders earn their equity over time (usually 4 years) rather than getting it all on day one.
What is a cliff?
A cliff (usually 1 year) means a founder gets no equity if they leave the company before that time passes.
What is a Buy-Sell provision?
It dictates how a partner's shares are handled if they die, divorce, or go bankrupt, protecting the company.
