I will draft a comprehensive startup founder employment agreement
Licensed US Attorney, Startup, Corporate Law Specialist
About this Gig
As a licensed US Attorney (Bar #126537), I know that a startup is only as secure as its founding documents. A poorly drafted Founder Employment Agreement can lead to lost equity, IP disputes, and costly litigation.
I provide bespoke, airtight employment agreements specifically tailored for startup founders. My contracts ensure that intellectual property is properly assigned to the company, equity vesting schedules (including cliffs) are legally binding, and founder roles are clearly defined.
What this Gig covers:
- Clear definitions of roles, duties, and compensation
- Vesting schedules for equity (standard or custom)
- Intellectual Property (IP) Assignment (Inventions Assignment)
- Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure (NDA)
- Termination clauses (Cause vs. Without Cause)
I do not use generic templates. Every clause is drafted to protect the company and clarify the founder's relationship with the entity. Select your package and submit your requirements to get started immediately.
