About this Gig
A smooth founder or shareholder exit requires balancing equity redemption, operational handover, and corporate stability. As a licensed U.S. Attorney (Bar #200097), I draft tailored Shareholder Exit Agreements that formalize the orderly departure of equity holders while safeguarding enterprise value.
Whether an owner is retiring, pursuing other ventures, or relinquishing active involvement, a clear exit roadmap is legally required. I prepare contracts that cleanly resolve equity vesting, operational transitions, and capital account settlements.
What This Service Provides:
Formal terms for resignation from officer and director roles
Redemption, repurchase, or cancellation of outstanding shares
Treatment of unvested equity, options, and profit interests
Structured transition periods, consulting covenants, and knowledge transfer
Strict post-exit non-compete, confidentiality, and proprietary rights protection
Ensure your business maintains full momentum during ownership transitions. Review the packages and order your agreement today.

FAQ
What happens to unvested shares in an exit agreement?
The agreement will legally define whether unvested shares are forfeited back to the company, accelerated, or repurchased at nominal value.
Can the exiting shareholder stay on as an independent advisor?
Yes. The Premium package includes a separate transition advisory structure to keep them available for consultation without equity control.
Does this document handle capital account payouts?
Yes. The contract can dictate exactly how capital account balances, loan repayments, and accrued distributions are settled.
Is an exit agreement different from a buyout agreement?
An exit agreement focuses on the broader operational transition, board departure, and equity restructuring, whereas a buyout focuses on purchase mechanics.
Are these agreements suitable for tech startups?
Yes. I frequently draft these for venture-backed and bootstrapped startups dealing with early co-founder departures.
