I will draft ironclad startup ownership and management agreements
Licensed US Attorney, Ironclad Startup, LLC and Corporate Agreements
About this Gig
The number one reason startups fail is co-founder disputes. Protect your business with a clear, legally binding Ownership and Management Agreement drafted by a licensed U.S. Attorney (Bar #143842).
A handshake is not enough. You need strict contractual guidelines dictating what happens if a founder leaves, underperforms, or wants to sell their shares. I draft precision agreements that map out control, align incentives, and protect the company from rogue partners.
Key Elements Covered:
Precise Equity Splits and Valuation Metrics
Day-to-Day Management Duties and Authority Limits
Vesting Schedules (Time-based and Milestone-based)
"Cliffs" and Founder Departure Protocols
Buy-Sell Mechanisms (Right of First Refusal, Deadlocks)
Confidentiality and Non-Compete Clauses

FAQ
What happens if a founder quits without an agreement?
Without an agreement, a departing founder can walk away with their full equity share, doing no work while you build the company. I prevent this.
What is a vesting schedule?
Vesting means founders earn their equity over time (typically 4 years). If they leave early, the company has the right to buy back unearned shares.
How do you resolve a 50/50 deadlock?
In the Premium package, I include specific deadlock resolution clauses (such as a buy-sell "Texas Shootout" provision) to resolve unresolvable ties.
What if our management roles change later?
The agreements I draft include amendment clauses, allowing you and your partners to formally update roles and responsibilities in the future via written vote.
How does the process work if we are ready to proceed?
Choose your package and checkout. You’ll instantly receive a text-based questionnaire to complete at your own pace. Once submitted, I draft your agreement.
