I will draft a professional cofounder agreement and startup ownership structure
Licensed US Attorney, Startup, Corporate and Equity Law Expert
About this Gig
A clear co-founder agreement is the foundation of every successful startup.
I am Patrick W. Murphy, a licensed U.S. Attorney (Bar No. #001475). The number one reason startups fail is co-founder conflict. Without a legally binding framework, you risk losing your equity, intellectual property, and operational control.
I draft comprehensive co-founder agreements and ownership structures that prevent disputes and position your company for scalable growth.
Key Provisions Included:
- Detailed ownership structuring and equity breakdown
- Clear delegation of daily operations and executive roles
- Voting rights and major decision-making protocols
- Co-founder exit, termination, and buyout terms
- Confidentiality (NDA) and non-compete protections
The Premium Advantage:
I write strictly tailored, high-converting legal language designed to protect your personal and business interests. My documents are clean, professional, and ready for execution.
Send me a message outlining your startup's needs, and I will draft a contract that secures your business from day one.
Field of law:
Business (corporate)
Target country:
