I will prepare legally binding startup advisory board contracts
Licensed US Attorney Elite Startup, Equity Corporate Contracts
About this Gig
Building an Advisory Board brings massive credibility to your startup, but it must be structured correctly to avoid legal liabilities. I am Melinda J. Mandell, a Licensed US Attorney (Bar #64831), and I draft precise Advisory Board Contracts that establish clear boundaries, duties, and compensation.
An Advisory Board is different from a Board of Directors; they do not have fiduciary duties, but they do require strict confidentiality, IP protection, and conflict of interest management.
What this Gig covers:
- Scope of advisory services and time commitments
- Compensation (Cash or Equity references)
- Indemnification clauses
- Conflict of Interest policies (Standard/Premium)
Formalize your advisory board the right way to impress future investors and VC firms. Order a package today to secure your board's legal foundation.
