- Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs): Unilateral or bilateral protection for trade secrets, pitch decks, and proprietary tech.
- IP Assignment Agreements: Ensuring all intellectual property belongs strictly to the company.
- Partnership & Operating Agreements.
Why choose this gig?

FAQ
Can you tailor the agreements to my specific country or state jurisdiction?
Yes. I draft and align contracts according to the governing law of your specified jurisdiction (e.g., US, UK, India, Canada, UAE, Singapore, or other common law systems). Please mention your preferred governing law when submitting the order requirements.
What is the difference between an NDA and a Founders' Agreement?
An NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement) protects confidential information shared between parties during discussions or pitch presentations. A Founders' Agreement regulates the internal dynamics among co-founders, covering equity splits, vesting schedules, roles, voting rights, and exit mechanisms.
In what formats will the final documents be delivered?
You will receive both an editable Microsoft Word document (.docx) and a finalized PDF. The Word document includes bracketed placeholders and guidance comments so you can easily reuse or update details in the future.
Can you review an existing draft rather than drafting from scratch?
Yes. If you already have an existing agreement, I can review it, highlight operational or legal risks, and provide an updated redlined version. Please message me first with your document to get a custom offer.
