I will draft a startup advisory agreement with equity compensation
Licensed US Attorney, Premium Legal Contracts for Startups and Founders
About this Gig
Bringing an advisor on board is a major step for your startup, but giving away equity without airtight legal protection is a massive risk. As a licensed U.S. attorney (Bar No. #007073), I draft premium, customized Startup Advisory Agreements that protect your cap table and ensure your advisors deliver actual value.
A poorly drafted agreement can result in "dead equity" walking out the door if an advisor fails to perform. I structure agreements that clearly define expectations, confidentiality, intellectual property ownership, and equity compensation terms.
What I Provide:
- Custom drafting (no recycled, weak templates)
- Clear definitions of advisor duties and expectations
- Precise equity compensation structures
- Intellectual Property (IP) assignment clauses
- Non-Disclosure & Confidentiality protections
Whether you are using a standard FAST agreement structure or need a highly tailored contract, I will deliver a legally binding document that protects your founders and your company. Send me a message today with your specific needs!
