Licensed US Attorney, Premium Startup, Corporate and Equity Law Solutions
About this Gig
Welcome! I am Laura D. Anderson, a licensed U.S. Attorney (Bar #006800) specializing in startup law.
One of the biggest mistakes startups make is failing to implement a proper vesting schedule.
Without it, a departing co-founder can walk away with a massive chunk of your companys equityleaving you with "dead equity" that repels investors and ruins your cap table.
I provide premium, custom-drafted Startup Vesting Agreements and Founder Equity Plans that protect your business. My documents ensure that equity is earned over time, keeping founders aligned and committed to the company's long-term success.
What you will receive:
- Clear, legally binding vesting schedules.
- Standard 4-year vesting with a 1-year cliff (or customized to your exact needs).
- Ironclad departure provisions (Good Leaver/Bad Leaver clauses).
- Investor-ready documents that meet U.S. corporate standards.
Protect your startup from the start with professional legal precision. Please message me with your company details, and lets secure your equity today!

FAQ
What is a vesting cliff?
A cliff is a minimum period (usually 1 year) a founder must work before earning any equity. If they leave before the cliff, they receive nothing.
Do I need a vesting agreement if I am a solo founder?
Yes! Investors often require solo founders to vest their shares to ensure they remain committed to the company after receiving funding.
Will this work for an LLC or a C-Corp?
Yes, I can tailor the equity plan and vesting terminology to suit either corporate structure (e.g., units for LLCs, shares for C-Corps).
Can we use a non-standard vesting schedule?
Absolutely. While 4 years with a 1-year cliff is standard, I can draft milestone-based or custom time-based schedules.
Are these templates or custom drafted?
I do not sell generic templates. Every document is custom-drafted based on your specific business structure and the details you provide via Fiverr messages.
