I am looking for a U.S-qualified corporate lawyer to put solid paperwork in place for my start-up. The immediate need is twofold: first, an airtight mutual NDA with developers and Marketing agencies The developers can be anywhere in the world that works in every state, and second, a contract template I can issue to both software developers and marketing professionals who work with us on a freelance basis. The agreement must cover payment terms, detailed project-deliverable definitions, and clear termination conditions. Beyond the usual clauses, I need explicit language on code ownership and a section that officially recognises me as a Technical Co-Founder with a fair profit-share structure. I also want the contract to address “all caveats” so nothing falls through the cracks. Finally, I need a concise reply (or cover letter) I can send to my co-founder that outlines the proposal and highlights why these clauses protect everyone involved. Deliverables • U.S.-compliant mutual NDA • Master freelance agreement template (developers & marketers) incorporating: payment schedule, scope of work, termination, IP/code ownership, Technical Co-Founder status, profit-share terms • One-page clause summary/explanation sheet • Polished email/letter I can forward to my co-founder presenting the contract proposal Please confirm your relevant experience with U.S. contract law and estimated turnaround time.

Your startup needs more than a standard NDA and freelancer agreement. The real objective is to prevent disputes before they start—especially around code ownership, deliverables, payments, termination, worldwide developers, and the Technical Co-Founder/profit-share arrangement. I am a corporate and contracts attorney with 10+ years of experience, including Tier-1 law-firm experience, handling commercial contracts, IP, technology agreements and cross-border matters. I can build a practical U.S.-focused contract suite: a mutual NDA and master freelance agreement covering confidentiality, IP/code ownership, work product, payment milestones, deliverables, acceptance criteria, termination, warranties, independent-contractor status, liability, dispute resolution and the other protections your startup needs. The Technical Co-Founder and profit-share provisions will be drafted clearly so there is no room for conflicting interpretations. You will also receive a concise clause-explanation sheet and a polished cover letter for your co-founder explaining why the structure protects everyone involved. My goal is simple: one reusable framework for developers and marketers, with commercial terms easy to customize and state-specific issues clearly flagged. I can start immediately and provide the first draft within 1–2 days, subject to confirming the governing state and final commercial terms. Regards, JD Baruah How soon would you like me to start?

Hi, I can help put together a clear, comprehensive contractual framework for your startup covering both developer and marketing relationships while addressing the specific ownership and co-founder issues you have identified. I would structure the work around two core documents: a mutual NDA suitable for working with U.S. and international contractors, and a master freelance agreement that can be adapted for software developers and marketing professionals. The agreement would clearly define scope and deliverables, payment schedules, milestones, termination rights, confidentiality, intellectual property, work product and code ownership, warranties, liability, dispute provisions, and other protections relevant to independent contractors. You will receive: • U.S.-focused mutual NDA • Master freelance agreement template • Clearly drafted IP and code ownership provisions • Technical Co-Founder and profit-share provisions • One-page explanation of the key clauses and their purpose • A polished email/letter explaining the proposed framework to your co-founder I would also flag any areas where additional business decisions are needed rather than inserting assumptions that could create problems later. I am ready to review your startup structure, proposed profit-share arrangement, contractor relationships, and any existing documents before preparing the drafts. Best regards, Noor Nawaz

Hi there, I am not US qualified corporate lawyer, but how often do you notice, so mostly you will either work with qualified and experienced legal professional from outside of USA or a XYZ claiming to be qualified US lawyer. I am a legal professional from India and have more than 18 years of experience in contracts for cross border clients and had worked with US based law firms doing initial pre funding NDA evaluations and then contracts. I can understand that you worried over project codes and deliverables and thus wanted to ensure that agreement terms remain strict to stop devs demanding extra, so I can see your do require a U.S.-compliant mutual NDA, I can prepare one and I can also understand that you do require Master Freelance Agreement template (developers & marketers) incorporating clauses like payment schedule, scope of work, termination, IP/code ownership, Technical Co-Founder status, profit-share terms. I will also make sure that you have one-page clause summary/explanation sheet to help understand the MFA terms better and also may for NDA too. Also I do understand that you require a polished email that you can forward to your co-founder presenting the contract proposal. I have already confirmed my experience that is working with US based client as a freelancer as also as working as offshore projects, dealing with investment NDA, and also on case laws matters and I think 7 days would be enough to deliver a standard NDA and MFA. Looking forward Shekhar

I noticed on your screen that the Freelancer bid box actually has a limit of 1500 characters (not words), and the previous draft was slightly over that limit, which is why you are seeing that red warning! Here is a tighter, condensed version that fits perfectly under the 1500-character limit so you can submit your bid: Hi there, I understand you need robust legal documentation to protect your startup, including a mutual NDA, a Master Freelance Agreement, a clause summary, and a strategic letter to your co-founder. Please note upfront: I hold a Bachelor of Laws (LLB Hons) from the University of London, not a U.S. state bar license. However, as U.S. contract law is rooted in common law, I am highly experienced in drafting these exact commercial agreements for international startups. If you need meticulous, commercially sound drafting that covers all caveats—rather than a formally stamped document by a licensed U.S. attorney—I can deliver exactly what you need. My approach: Mutual NDA: Tailored to protect proprietary info across borders for remote developers and agencies. Master Freelance Agreement: Explicit language for IP/code ownership assignments. I will include a dedicated section legally recognizing your Technical Co-Founder status, outlining profit-share mechanics, payment terms, and termination conditions. Clause Summary & Letter: A plain-English summary of the legal mechanics and a persuasive email outlining how these clauses equitably protect both founders
