I will draft a comprehensive startup advisory board agreement
Licensed US Attorney Protecting Your Startups Future
About this Gig
Forming an Advisory Board is an excellent way to scale your startup, but governing multiple high-level advisors requires precise legal structuring. As a licensed U.S. Attorney (Bar ID #273465), I specialize in drafting comprehensive Startup Advisory Board Agreements that establish clear governance, protect your company, and satisfy sophisticated investors.
An advisory board differs legally from a Board of Directors, and your contracts must reflect that to avoid unintended fiduciary liabilities.
This Custom Agreement Includes:
- Board Member Duties: Meeting frequency, availability, and specific advisory roles.
- Compensation Structures: Retainers, per-meeting fees, or equity grants.
- Indemnification: Crucial legal protections (Premium package) to attract top-tier board members.
- Conflicts of Interest: Clauses preventing your advisors from helping direct competitors.
- IP & Confidentiality: Absolute protection of your proprietary business strategies.
Do not use a standard employee contract for board members. Choose a package on the right, and I will deliver a premium, attorney-drafted Advisory Board Agreement today.

FAQ
What is the difference between this and a Board of Directors?
An Advisory Board generally has no voting power or fiduciary duties. I draft this agreement to explicitly state this, protecting you from corporate governance issues.
Do top-tier advisors require indemnification?
Yes, most high-level executives will require an indemnification clause (available in Premium) to protect them from liabilities related to their advice.
Can I use this for multiple board members?
Yes, the document will be drafted so you can use it as a master template for all future members of your advisory board.
