US Corporate Attorney and Legal Writer Protecting Your Business Foundations
About this Gig
Are you entering a new business venture based solely on a verbal agreement or handshake? Co-founder disputes are one of the primary reasons promising startups collapse before reaching profitability or fundraising rounds.
What happens if a partner suddenly quits after three months but still demands 50% of your company? Or if responsibilities become imbalanced and resentment ruins your team dynamic? Without formal written guidelines, your startup lacks a legal remedy.
Eliminate the uncertainty with a professional, comprehensive Founders Agreement. I draft robust legal contracts that detail roles, prevent premature equity drains, and align your leadership team.
What is included:
- Custom Equity Splitting & Vesting Schedules (Cliffs)
- Intellectual Property (IP) Transfer & Assignment
- Detailed Role Definitions & Exit Clauses
- Decision-Making & Dispute Resolution Frameworks
Do not let unwritten assumptions destroy your brilliant startup idea. Lock in your terms, establish clean legal equity rules, and build your corporate future safely.

FAQ
Can this agreement be updated later when we bring in investors?
Yes, this lays the legal groundwork for your partnership. It can easily be amended or replaced when you incorporate or accept venture funding.
Does this protect the intellectual property of the company?
Yes, the Premium package includes an Intellectual Property Assignment clause, ensuring all code, designs, or ideas belong to the business entity, not individual founders.
What is an equity vesting schedule with a cliff?
It ensures founders earn their shares over time rather than all upfront. A 1-year cliff means if a co-founder leaves within the first year, they walk away with zero equity.
