Our team is well-versed in handling a wide range of corporate matters, including entity formation and structure, ownership agreements, employment and independent contractor agreements, equity issuance and vesting, buy-sell and advisory agreements, asset or equity purchase agreements, joint venture agreements, licensing agreements, and commercial contracts. Whether you're a budding entrepreneur or an established startup, Roitman Legal is your trusted partner in ensuring a solid legal foundation for your business endeavors, allowing you to focus on innovation and growth.

Ownership agreements are foundational for startups, helping define the roles, responsibilities, and rights of the founders and stakeholders. Roitman Legal assists startups in drafting and customizing these agreements, whether it's an Operating Agreement for an LLC, a Shareholder Agreement for a corporation, or a Partnership Agreement for a joint venture. These agreements cover critical aspects such as ownership percentages, decision-making processes, equity transfer restrictions, buy-sell provisions, and dispute resolution mechanisms. By crafting these agreements carefully, we ensure that the startup's ownership structure aligns with its vision, protects the interests of all parties involved, and helps prevent conflicts that could hinder growth.

Roitman Legal specializes in structuring equity issuance and vesting agreements that incentivize team members to contribute to the company's growth over time. Additionally, we provide guidance on buy-sell agreements, ensuring that founders have a clear path for buying out a departing member's equity while maintaining control over ownership. Advisory agreements are also crucial for startups seeking external expertise, allowing for the engagement of advisors without compromising equity or control. These agreements are designed to protect both the startup and its stakeholders, fostering a collaborative and growth-oriented environment.

By offering comprehensive legal support in these areas and more, Roitman Legal empowers startups to navigate the complexities of corporate governance, equity management, and contractual relationships with confidence. Our goal is to provide startups with the legal framework they need to thrive and adapt in the competitive business landscape.
