I will draft a robust UK founder and shareholder agreement
Licensed UK Solicitor : SRA 432266 : Expert Corporate Legal Drafting
Acerca de este Servicio
Co-founding a UK business requires absolute clarity on roles, equity, and intellectual property. As a licensed UK Solicitor (SRA ID: 432266), I draft airtight Founder and Shareholder Agreements that protect the individuals driving the business.
A handshake is not enough. You need a legally sound document that dictates what happens if a founder wants to leave, underperforms, or if the business is sold.
Your bespoke agreement will include:
- Clear definition of founder roles and time commitments
- Intellectual Property (IP) assignment to the company
- "Good Leaver" and "Bad Leaver" provisions
- Founder equity vesting schedules
- Board decision-making and veto rights
- Dispute and deadlock resolution strategies
Don't leave your sweat equity unprotected. Ensure your co-founder relationship is legally structured for long-term commercial success with a professionally drafted agreement.

FAQ
Does this document protect my Intellectual Property?
Yes. The agreement ensures that any IP created by the founders is legally assigned to and owned by the company.
What are Good Leaver/Bad Leaver clauses?
These dictate what happens to a founder's shares if they leave the company on good terms (e.g., illness) versus bad terms (e.g., fraud).
Can this be amended as our business grows?
Yes, founders can agree to amend the document in writing at a later date as your company evolves.
