Our new co-founder agreement guide explains equity splits, founder vesting under Indian company law, good and bad leavers, moving code into the company, and what happens when a founder leaves.
We have published a new guide to the co-founder agreement, written for founders of Indian startups and small companies.
Most startups that fall apart do not fall apart over the product. They fall apart over questions nobody answered at the start: who owns what, what happens if one founder stops working, and who owns the code that one of them wrote before the company existed. Company law answers those questions by default, and its defaults were not written for startups. A founder who leaves after a year keeps every share; code written before incorporation stays with the person who wrote it.
The guide links to our shareholders agreement and ESOP guides for the stage when investors arrive. Founders who want the agreement prepared can order it from the guide page; we start with a questionnaire that each founder answers separately.
News on this page is general information, not legal advice. For your own matter, talk to our team, or find an advocate for court work — the advocate’s fee is engaged and paid by you directly.
Customer data, AI training, auto-renewal rules, CERT-In incident reporting, liability caps and getting your data out at the end — our new guide covers the SaaS contract from both sides.
Our equipment lease guide explains the Contract Act rules on bailment, delivery and acceptance, maintenance and downtime, insurance, licences for medical equipment and why forcible repossession is unlawful.
Most revenue sharing disputes are about the definition of revenue, not the percentage. Our new guide explains deductions, billed versus collected revenue, minimum guarantees, audit rights and the sectors where fee sharing is barred.
Two doors, both free. Clients search a factual directory of enrolled advocates. Advocates apply to be listed on it — no fee, no commission, nothing paid in either direction.
Search Bar Council enrolled advocates by what your matter is about, by court, or by city. Searching and sending a request are both free.
Enrolled advocates anywhere in India can apply to be listed. Your entry is published only after we verify your enrolment number with your State Bar Council.
This directory carries no ratings, no reviews, no rankings and no fees — only the factual particulars the Bar Council of India permits, published at each advocate's own request. Browse the network · Terms for Advocates
