I will prepare legally binding startup equity vesting documentation
Licensed Corporate Attorney Securing Founder Equity Startup Futures
About this Gig
As your startup scales, you will need to compensate advisors, contractors, and early employees with equity. However, using the same founder-level agreements for employees is a dangerous legal mistake. You need distinct, tailored equity vesting documentation.
I am a licensed attorney (Bar #001736) providing comprehensive equity vesting documentation designed for scaling startups.
This gig covers documentation for:
- Advisors: FAST-style agreements with short-term vesting schedules (usually 1-2 years).
- Early Employees: Standard 4-year vesting with strict termination and buyback clauses.
- Contractors: Milestone-based equity compensation agreements.
Using my legal expertise, I will ensure that your equity pool is distributed legally, cleanly, and safely. Do not risk your cap table with generic internet templates. Select a package, provide your terms, and I will deliver professional legal documentation promptly.
