About this Gig

As a licensed U.S. Attorney (Bar #364375), I understand that an unresolved dispute between co-founders can paralyze a startup, drain capital, and destroy company value. A well-drafted Deadlock Agreement acts as an emergency parachute, providing a clear, legally binding mechanism to break voting ties and keep your business moving forward.


I do not use generic templates. I draft highly customized legal frameworks designed to protect the continuity of your startup.


What this Gig includes:

  • Clear definitions of deadlock trigger events
  • Mandatory negotiation and cooling-off periods
  • Mediation/Arbitration escalation matrix
  • Advanced resolution mechanisms (Russian Roulette, Texas Shootout, or Put/Call options)
  • Buyout terms and valuation metrics
  • Strict adherence to U.S. state-specific corporate laws


Protect your startup from internal paralysis. Choose a package that fits your needs and lets you establish a secure, professional foundation for your company's future.
