About this Gig
Make your startup undeniable to venture capitalists and angel investors.
I am Patrick W. Murphy, a licensed U.S. Attorney (Bar No. #001475). When raising capital, sophisticated investors require a meticulous Shareholder Agreement. A weak agreement can dilute your founder shares, cost you board control, or allow unwanted third parties into your company.
I provide premium, bespoke drafting of Shareholder Agreements designed to balance founder control with investor security.
Essential Features Included:
- Board of Directors composition and voting thresholds
- Right of First Refusal (ROFR) and Co-Sale rights
- Drag-along and Tag-along rights for acquisition scenarios
- Anti-dilution protections for early investors
- Strict restrictions on share transfers
Whether you are issuing early-stage equity or finalizing a Seed/Series A round, I deliver documents that meet rigorous due diligence standards.
Protect your equity and secure your funding. Send me a message today to ensure your corporate structure is investor-ready.
Field of law:
Business (corporate)

FAQ
What are drag-along and tag-along rights?
Drag-along allows majority shareholders to force minority shareholders to join in the sale of a company. Tag-along protects minority shareholders by allowing them to join a sale initiated by the majority.
Will this agreement satisfy VC and angel investors?
Yes, I draft these agreements using standard venture-backed terms expected by institutional investors and angels.
Do you include a Right of First Refusal (ROFR)?
Yes, the Standard and Premium packages include ROFR, ensuring existing shareholders have the first right to buy shares before they are sold externally.
Can this be used for both a C-Corp and an LLC?
Shareholder agreements are typically for C-Corps or S-Corps. If you have an LLC, I will adapt these principles into a comprehensive Operating Agreement.
Does this protect minority shareholders?
Yes, the Premium package includes specific provisions (like tag-along rights and anti-dilution) that safeguard minority investors.
