About this Gig
Attorney-Drafted Corporate Governance for Startups and LLCs
I am Devin J. McGahey, Esq., a licensed U.S. corporate attorney (Bar #339091). Getting your Articles of Organization from the state is only step one. The document that actually dictates who owns the business, who makes decisions, and how you get paid is your Operating Agreement or Partnership Agreement.
Do not trust your business equity to a generic template. If a partner leaves, if a dispute arises, or if you seek venture funding, a weak agreement will shatter your company.
I draft customized, high-tier corporate documents including:
- Single-Member LLC Agreements: Maintain liability protection and satisfy banking requirements.
- Multi-Member LLC Agreements: Establish voting rights, profit distributions, and management roles.
- Founders & Partnership Contracts: Implement vesting schedules, sweat equity terms, and deadlock resolution.
- Buy/Sell Provisions: Control what happens if a partner wishes to exit the business.
Build your business on a solid legal foundation. Message me today to discuss your company.

FAQ
Why do I need an Operating Agreement if I am the only owner of my LLC?
Without a formal Operating Agreement, courts view your business as an alter-ego, allowing them to "pierce the corporate veil" and hold you personally liable for business debts. Additionally, traditional banks strictly require this document to open a business checking account or issue credit.
What are "Buy/Sell" provisions, and why are they critical?
Included in the Premium package, a Buy/Sell provision acts as a "prenup" for your business. It legally dictates exactly what happens if a partner dies, goes bankrupt, or wants to leave. Without it, you could be legally forced into a business partnership with your ex-partner's spouse or heirs.
How does your agreement handle a deadlock (a 50/50 tie in voting)?
Free templates fail here, leading to dissolved companies. My contracts include sophisticated dispute resolution mechanics—such as mandatory mediation, shotgun clauses (buyout mechanisms), or outside tie-breaker appointments—ensuring the company can continue operating even if founders disagree.
What is the difference between Member-Managed and Manager-Managed?
A Member-Managed LLC means all owners actively run the daily operations. A Manager-Managed LLC allows owners (like silent investors) to remain passive while appointing specific individuals to handle daily business. I will structure your agreement to reflect your exact operational reality.
Can we divide profits differently than our ownership percentages?
Yes. If one partner owns 60% of the equity but the 40% partner does all the daily work, I can draft "special allocations" into the agreement. This allows profit distributions to be based on factors other than strict ownership percentage, ensuring fair compensation for "sweat equity."
What is a Founders Agreement vs. an Operating Agreement?
A Founders Agreement is a preliminary contract used before or during the early stages of incorporation to lock in vesting schedules, initial capital commitments, and IP creation. The Operating Agreement is the finalized, formal governance document of the legally registered LLC.
Do you actually file the LLC with my state government?
No, this Gig is exclusively for drafting the internal governing contract (the Operating Agreement). You must independently file your Articles of Organization with your state's Secretary of State. My document governs how the company runs after it is formed.
How does the agreement protect the company's Intellectual Property?
The Premium Startup Pack includes a Founders IP Assignment. Often, founders build code or brands before the LLC officially exists. This document legally transfers ownership of those early assets from the founders as individuals directly into the newly formed corporate entity.
Is this document valid in states like Delaware, Wyoming, or California?
Yes. Corporate law varies significantly by state. As a licensed attorney, I customize the governing law, severability, and fiduciary duty clauses to comply precisely with the specific statutes of the state where your entity is incorporated.
Does purchasing this gig form an attorney-client relationship?
Purchasing this Gig provides you with custom legal drafting based on your specific inputs. However, formal legal representation and ongoing attorney-client privilege require a separate, signed engagement letter, which I can provide upon request.
