Legal Contracts for Startups & Companies

Every business relationship needs a watertight contract. Our IP-specialist lawyers draft NDAs, founder agreements, employment contracts, vendor agreements, and licensing deals that protect your interests.

Why Contracts Matter for Your Business

A business operates through relationships — with co-founders, employees, contractors, vendors, clients, and investors. Each of these relationships carries risk: disputes over ownership, non-payment, IP theft, breach of confidentiality, or misaligned expectations. A well-drafted contract transforms these informal relationships into legally enforceable obligations, allocating risk clearly and giving you recourse if things go wrong.

At Company360, our contracts are drafted by qualified advocates with deep expertise in IP and commercial law — not generated from templates. Every agreement is tailored to your specific context, jurisdiction, and risk profile. We also review and negotiate contracts you receive from third parties, identifying unfavourable clauses before you sign.

Contracts We Draft

Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA)

Protect your confidential information when sharing with potential investors, partners, employees, or vendors. We draft unilateral and mutual NDAs with appropriate carve-outs, duration, and remedies.

Founder / Co-Founder Agreement

Define equity splits, vesting schedules (typically 4-year vest with 1-year cliff), roles, IP assignment to the company, and exit provisions. The most critical agreement for any startup — often ignored until it is too late.

Employment Contract

Compliant employment agreements covering salary, benefits, notice period, IP assignment, non-compete, non-solicitation, and confidentiality obligations. Tailored for different employee levels and roles.

Vendor & Service Agreement

Govern your relationships with suppliers, contractors, and service providers — scope of work, deliverables, payment terms, IP ownership, indemnity, and termination rights.

IP Licensing Agreement

License your patents, trademarks, copyrights, or trade secrets to third parties. We draft exclusive and non-exclusive licences with royalty provisions, sub-licensing rights, quality controls, and reversion clauses.

SaaS / Software Agreement

Terms of service and SLA for SaaS products — subscription terms, data ownership, uptime commitments, liability limits, acceptable use, GDPR and IT Act compliance provisions.

Shareholder Agreement

Govern the rights and obligations of shareholders — pre-emption rights, drag-along/tag-along, information rights, anti-dilution, board composition, and investor protections.

Our Drafting Process

Requirements Call

We begin with a consultation to understand your business context, the counterparty involved, the key issues you need to address, and any specific terms you want included or excluded.

First Draft

Our lawyer prepares a tailored first draft — not a template — within 3–5 business days. The draft is sent to you with a plain-English explanation of the key clauses.

Your Review & Revisions

You review the draft and share comments. We incorporate your changes and provide legal advice where your requested changes carry risk. One round of revisions is included in the standard fee.

Negotiation Support (if needed)

If the other party proposes changes or redlines, we review their markup, advise on what is acceptable and what to push back on, and draft your counter-proposals.

Final Execution Guidance

We advise on proper execution — signatures, witnesses, stamp duty (where applicable), and notarisation requirements. For high-value agreements, we also handle stamping and notarisation.
