I will draft legally binding startup advisory board contracts
Licensed US Attorney, Premium Legal Contracts for Startups and Founders
About this Gig
Building an Advisory Board is a powerful way to bring industry experts, credibility, and strategic direction to your startup. However, the legal distinction between an "Advisory Board" and a "Board of Directors" must be clearly defined to prevent unwanted legal liabilities and control issues.
As a licensed U.S. attorney (Bar No. #007073), I draft precise, professional Advisory Board Contracts that clearly outline the advisory nature of the relationship, protecting you from unintended fiduciary liabilities.
Key Features of My Drafting:
- Clear delineation of non-fiduciary advisory duties
- Meeting requirements and time commitments
- Compensation structures (cash or equity reference)
- Strict confidentiality and Non-Disclosure (NDA)
- Limitation of liability for the startup
Ensure your advisory board is an asset, not a legal liability. I will provide you with top-tier corporate legal drafting. Send me a message to discuss your Advisory Board needs.

FAQ
What is the difference between a Board of Directors and an Advisory Board?
A Board of Directors has legal, fiduciary duties and voting power. An Advisory Board is informal and only provides advice, with no legal control over the company.
Can I use this template for multiple advisors?
Yes, the documents I draft for you can be reused as a standard template for future members of your advisory board.
Does this package include an NDA?
Yes, the Standard and Premium packages include robust confidentiality agreements to protect your trade secrets.
Is this valid in my state?
I draft these contracts utilizing standard U.S. corporate law principles, and I will include a choice-of-law provision for your company's jurisdiction.
How do I start the process?
Simply choose a package and submit the requirements questionnaire. I will review your answers and begin drafting immediately.
