I will draft startup equity with compensation contracts for content
Licensed US Attorney Startup, Intellectual Property and Creator Economy Counsel
About this Gig
Welcome. I am Peter Edwin Moye, a licensed US Attorney (Bar #95694). User Generated Content (UGC) is the driving force of modern digital marketing. However, using a creator's video for paid ads without a precise licensing agreement exposes your brand to copyright strikes, DMCA takedowns, and costly litigation.
I prepare ironclad UGC Licensing Agreements that grant your brand the exact commercial rights required to scale your ad campaigns without legal friction.
This Gig secures your content pipeline with clauses covering:
- Usage Rights & Terms: Defining exactly where (TikTok, Meta, TV) and how long the content can be used.
- Whitelisting & Dark Posting: Legal permission to run ads directly through the creators social media handles.
- Modification Rights: The right to edit, splice, and remix the creator's raw footage.
- Intellectual Property (IP): Clear distinction between licensing the content and a total IP buyout.
- Indemnification: Protecting your brand if the creator uses unauthorized copyrighted music.
Secure your marketing assets legally. Select your package to get started.

FAQ
Are tax implications covered?
The contract will include standard clauses advising the creator on 83(b) elections, shifting tax liabilities away from your startup.
What is Phantom Stock?
Phantom stock gives the creator the financial benefit of equity (cash upon a sale) without giving them actual voting rights or complicating your cap table.
Can you draft this for an LLC?
Yes. LLCs utilize "Profit Interests" rather than traditional shares. I will draft the document to match your specific corporate structure.
Do you tie equity to follower count or sales?
Yes. I can draft milestone-based vesting where equity is only released when the creator hits specific, measurable KPIs.
What is a vesting cliff?
A cliff ensures the creator must work with you for a minimum amount of time (e.g., 1 year) before they earn any equity, protecting your startup from immediate abandonment.
