I will draft your startup founders agreement or shareholders agreement
Legal Counsel for Startups, Corporate and VC Advisory
About this Gig
Get the founder and investor terms right before they become a problem
Most startup disputes start with a vague handshake on equity. I draft founders' and shareholders' agreements that set out who owns what, what happens if someone leaves, and how decisions get made.
What I cover
- Equity split, vesting and cliff
- Roles, time commitment and IP assignment
- Good leaver / bad leaver terms
- Board seats and reserved matters
- ROFR, tag-along, drag-along and deadlock
- Investor rights for priced rounds
Jurisdictions
Delaware C-Corps, Indian private companies, and cross-border structures (India-US, UAE-US).
Why work with me
I run Lex Resolutio and work on the legal team of a US venture fund, so I see these documents from the investor side too. I know which clauses investors push back on.

FAQ
Which package do I need?
Only founders, no investors yet: Founders' Agreement. Founders plus angels or existing shareholders: SHA. Closing a priced round with a term sheet: Funding Round SHA.
Which country's law will the agreement follow?
Usually the country where the company is incorporated. I work with Delaware and Indian companies, and cross-border setups between them.
Can you review a draft my investor sent?
Yes. Every package includes review. I flag terms that are off-market or risky for founders and suggest edits you can send back.
