I will draft a startup founder equity and ownership agreement
Licensed US Attorney Bulletproof Legal Foundations for Startups
About this Gig
Properly structuring equity is the most critical financial decision founders make. As a licensed U.S. Attorney (Bar ID #126962), I draft highly precise Founder Equity and Ownership Agreements that protect your capitalization table and voting power.
Mistakes in equity distribution can lead to founders losing control of their own companies. I ensure your shares are legally structured for current operations and future funding rounds.
Your custom Equity Agreement will cover:
- Authorized shares vs. Issued shares
- Exact equity splits and purchase price
- Voting rights and board representation
- Restrictions on the transfer of shares (preventing shares from being sold to competitors)
- Tag-along and Drag-along rights for future acquisitions
Whether you are distributing common stock for a C-Corp or membership units for an LLC, I provide meticulous legal drafting that protects the majority owners while respecting minority rights. Guarantee your ownership with attorney-drafted contracts.
