About this Gig

Never give a co-founder 100% of their equity on day one. If they walk away a month later, they take a massive chunk of your company with them. I am Lisa Rae Rohm, a licensed U.S. Attorney (Bar ID #126962), and I draft airtight Founder Vesting Agreements to protect your company's equity.

Vesting ensures founders earn their shares over time through continued service.


I will draft a legally binding agreement detailing:

  • Vesting Schedules: (e.g., standard 4-year vesting).
  • Cliff Periods: (e.g., 1-year cliffno equity is earned if they leave before 12 months).
  • Good Leaver / Bad Leaver Clauses: Dictating what happens to vested/unvested shares if a founder is fired for cause or leaves voluntarily.
  • Acceleration Rights: (Single and Double Trigger) detailing what happens to unvested shares if the company is acquired or sold.


Venture capitalists strictly require vesting agreements. Let an experienced attorney structure your vesting schedules properly so your company remains investable, secure, and protected from departing founders.
