I will write a custom founder dispute prevention contract
Licensed US Attorney, Startup Governance, Founder Agreements
About this Gig
The number one reason startups fail is not a lack of fundingit is co-founder conflict. Handshake agreements are a liability. To build a successful venture, you need a proactive, legally binding contract that clearly dictates roles, equity, and exit strategies.
As a Licensed US Attorney (Bar #51831), I specialize in drafting robust Founder Dispute Prevention Contracts. I do not use generic online templates; I draft customized agreements that protect the company and ensure fairness among founders.
Key elements I can include:
- Equity splits and milestone-based vesting schedules
- Intellectual Property (IP) Assignment (ensuring the company owns the idea)
- Role definitions and time commitments
- Buy-sell agreements (what happens if a founder quits or dies)
- Confidentiality and Non-Compete clauses
Establish a professional legal foundation for your startup today. A well-drafted contract prevents misunderstandings from becoming lawsuits. Choose your package and let us secure your business.

FAQ
When is the best time to sign a founder agreement?
The best time is before you incorporate or build the product. The second best time is right now.
Does this include a vesting schedule?
Yes, the Standard and Premium packages include customized vesting schedules (e.g., 4-year vesting with a 1-year cliff).
Why do we need IP assignment?
If a founder leaves without assigning their IP, they can claim ownership of your software, branding, or product. This prevents that.
Will this hold up in court?
Yes. I am a licensed US attorney, and I draft ironclad contracts designed to be fully enforceable under state law.
Can you review a contract we drafted ourselves?
Yes, please message me for a custom offer for legal review and revision of your existing drafts.
