I will write a legally binding shareholder voting agreement
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). When you accept outside capital, your cap table and decision-making matrix become complex. A poorly structured shareholder agreement can lead to founders losing control of their own company.
I specialize in drafting Shareholder Voting Agreements that balance investor rights with founder control. Whether you are structuring a Friends & Family round or preparing for Seed/Series A, you need an attorney-drafted document.
Key Provisions Included:
- Voting thresholds for major corporate actions (M&A, dissolving company).
- Board of Directors election mechanics.
- Drag-along and Tag-along voting requirements.
- Proxy voting rules and limitations.
The Delivery:
You will receive a meticulously drafted, ready-to-sign agreement tailored to your equity structure. No phone calls are required simply submit your cap table details and specific investor terms in the requirements section, and I will execute the legal writing. Secure your equity governance now.
FAQ
Can you include Drag-Along rights?

How is this different from corporate bylaws?
Bylaws govern the general operations of the company. A Shareholder Voting Agreement is a private contract among shareholders dictating how they will vote their shares.
Is this suitable for a SAFE note conversion?
Yes, this agreement is highly recommended to have in place before or concurrently with the conversion of SAFEs into priced equity.
Will this protect founders from hostile investors?
Yes, we can structure protective provisions and voting thresholds to ensure founders maintain operational control.
How do we communicate without calls?
My onboarding questionnaire covers every legal detail required. If clarification is needed, I will message you directly on Fiverr.
