I will prepare strategic startup control rights documentation
Licensed US Attorney,Strategic Legal Drafting and Corporate Governance for Start
About this Gig
I am Steven Eliott Fineman, a licensed US Attorney (Bar #140335). Raising capital is vital, but surrendering control is not. As a startup scales, founders face the severe risk of being ousted from their own boards or losing veto power over crucial company decisions.
I provide elite legal drafting focused entirely on Startup Control Rights. I draft the mechanisms that allow founders to retain dominant decision-making power even as their equity ownership dilutes.
What I draft for you:
- Dual-class stock structures (Super-voting shares).
- Board composition and removal rights.
- Stringent Protective Provisions (Veto rights over debt, sales, and executive hiring).
- Founder departure terms and control retention.
Protecting your life's work requires precision, not guesswork. Submit your current corporate structure and goals via the Fiverr requirements page. I will deliver highly strategic, legally sound documentation to solidify your command over your company. Order today.

FAQ
Can I maintain control if I own less than 50% of the company?
Yes. Through dual-class share structures (super-voting shares) and board composition rights, founders can maintain control despite equity dilution.
What are protective provisions?
They are veto rights that prevent the company from taking major actions (like selling the company or issuing new stock) without a specific vote from founders.
What do I need to start?
A brief overview of your current cap table, your corporate entity type, and your goals for control retention.
Do investors usually accept these terms?
Yes, but they must be drafted professionally and reasonably. I draft industry-standard control rights that sophisticated VCs recognize and respect.
Are these documents ready to be filed?
Depending on the structure, these provisions may need to be integrated into your Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. I provide the exact legal text required.
