I will draft a tailored co founder partnership agreement for your startup
Licensed US Attorney Crafting Ironclad Startup Founder Agreements
Acerca de este Servicio
Founder disputes are the #1 reason startups fail. As a licensed U.S. attorney, I draft precise co-founder partnership agreements that establish clear boundaries, protect company IP, and structure equity properly so you can focus on scaling.
Whether you are pre-incorporation or actively running your startup, you need a contract that anticipates future hurdles.
Key provisions I draft for your startup:
- Equity Ownership & Roles: Defining who owns what and exactly what they do.
- Vesting Schedules (Standard/Premium): Protecting the company with cliffs and standard 4-year vesting frameworks so founders must earn their equity.
- IP Assignment: Ensuring all ideas, code, and branding belong to the company, not the individual.
- Decision-Making: Voting rights, deadlock resolution, and board control.
- Founder Departures: "Good leaver vs. Bad leaver" clauses and company buy-back rights.
Secure your startup with an agreement that venture capitalists and angel investors expect to see during due diligence. Deliverable is an editable, signature-ready file.

FAQ
We haven't registered an LLC or C-Corp yet. Can we still use this?
Absolutely. I can draft this as a pre-incorporation agreement that transitions seamlessly once your entity is formed.
What is an IP Assignment clause and why do we need it?
It ensures that anything a founder creates for the business legally belongs to the startup, which is critical for future investors.
Can you customize the vesting schedule?
Yes, I can draft standard 4-year with a 1-year cliff, or a fully custom milestone-based vesting schedule.
