Licensed US Attorney Ironclad Startup Corporate Agreements
About this Gig
Welcome. I am Spencer Booth Lord, a Licensed US Attorney (Bar #64735).
Founder disputes are the number one reason early-stage startups fail. When it is time for co-founders to part ways, a generic template will not protect you from future lawsuits. You need a highly specific Founder Separation Agreement to execute a clean, legally binding split.
I provide professional legal drafting to ensure your startup is insulated from rogue departing founders.
This agreement covers:
- Severance or payout terms (if applicable)
- Strict non-disparagement clauses
- Complete mutual release of all liabilities
- Resignation from all officer and director roles
- Return of all company property and data
Do not leave your company vulnerable to a disgruntled former partner. Review my packages and submit your requirements to secure your company today.

FAQ
What is the difference between an Exit and a Separation Agreement?
A separation agreement focuses heavily on liability release, non-disparagement, and formally ending the working relationship, often after a dispute.
Will this stop my co-founder from suing me?
The agreement includes a "mutual release of claims," which is a binding waiver preventing them from suing for past actions.
Can you include a non-disparagement clause?
Yes, Standard and Premium packages include strict clauses preventing the departing founder from speaking negatively about the startup.
What information do you need to start?
I will need the names of the parties, company name, state of incorporation, and the agreed-upon severance or separation terms.
Is this document ready to sign?
Yes, I will deliver a finalized PDF and an editable Word document ready for execution by both parties.
