I will draft a secure founder exit and separation agreement
Licensed US Attorney : Premium Legal Protection for Startups and Founders
About this Gig
When a co-founder leaves a startup, an undocumented exit is a massive legal liability.
Disgruntled former founders can claim unvested equity, steal Intellectual Property, or disparage the company to investors. As a licensed U.S. attorney (Bar #364375), I draft airtight Founder Exit and Separation Agreements that ensure a clean, permanent, and legally secure break.
I construct customized agreements that protect the startup's assets, finalize equity transfers, and prevent future lawsuits.
What this Gig includes:
- Formal resignation from all officer/director roles
- Mutual Release of all past and future legal claims
- Treatment of vested and unvested equity (Clawbacks/Buyouts)
- Strict Non-Disclosure (NDA) and Confidentiality clauses
- Non-Compete and Non-Solicitation of employees/clients
- Non-Disparagement provisions
- Complete Intellectual Property (IP) Assignment to the company
Guarantee a clean break and protect the future of your startup. Select the package that best fits your exit scenario.

FAQ
Does this handle the exiting founder's unvested shares?

Will this protect the company's code or intellectual property?
Absolutely. The Premium package includes a strict IP assignment clause ensuring the company owns everything the founder created.
Is this a mutual release?
