I will draft startup ownership and business management agreements as US attorney
Licensed US Attorney, Premium Legal Infrastructure for Startups and LLCs
Acerca de este Servicio
Prevent internal disputes and protect your intellectual property with elite ownership contracts.
The #1 reason startups fail is co-founder conflict. Handshake agreements are a massive liability.
As a licensed U.S. Attorney (Bar No. #011724), I draft clear, legally binding Ownership and Management Agreements that define exactly who owns what, who does what, and what happens if someone leaves.
Key Provisions Included:
- Equity & Compensation: Detailed breakdowns of ownership percentages and pay structures.
- Roles & Responsibilities: Clearly defined management duties to prevent operational overlap.
- IP Assignment: Crucial clauses ensuring all ideas and code belong to the company, not the individual.
- Deadlock Resolution: Legal mechanisms to break voting ties and settle internal disputes.
- Exit & Buyout Clauses: Clear rules for what happens if a founder quits or is fired.
Do not risk your startup's future on unwritten assumptions. Message me today to secure professional agreements that protect the business and its founders.

FAQ
What happens if a co-founder leaves the company?
Your agreement will include specific "buy-sell" and exit provisions dictating how their shares are handled, repurchased, or forfeited.
Does this agreement transfer Intellectual Property to the startup?
Yes, the Standard and Premium packages include strict IP Assignment clauses, ensuring the company owns all work created by the founders.
Can we specify different voting power versus equity ownership?
Absolutely. I can structure the agreement so that management/voting control is separated from financial equity percentages.
Is this the same as a Partnership Agreement?
Yes, functionally. If your business is an LLC or C-Corp, this acts as your internal co-founder/management contract to govern operations.
How do you handle a 50/50 ownership split?
50/50 splits can cause deadlock. I include specialized deadlock resolution clauses (such as mediation or third-party tie-breakers) to keep the business moving.
