Contracts

Contracts drafted and reviewed against the deal you're actually doing

The NVCA model Series A financing set, NDAs, Terms of Service, services agreements, SaaS and licensing paper, and vendor contracts, drafted or reviewed and redlined for startups in Los Angeles and across California, not marked up from a generic template.

NDAs, services agreements, and contract review

Some matters need paper drafted from scratch; others need a contract someone else sent reviewed and redlined before signature. Each is scoped and priced separately below.

Series A financing documents (NVCA model set)
Preparation of the NVCA model Series A set - amended and restated certificate of incorporation, stock purchase agreement, investors' rights agreement, voting agreement, and right of first refusal and co-sale agreement - with the deal points and drafting alternatives resolved to your term sheet and a written answers memo recording each choice.

from $100
Services agreement or MSA
Master services agreement or customer-facing services contract, with SOW template.

What's included

  • The NVCA model Series A set, with every deal point and drafting alternative resolved to your term sheet and recorded in writing
  • Mutual or one-way NDAs drafted to your disclosure posture
  • Master services agreements or customer-facing services contracts, with an SOW template
  • Full review, redline, and a plain-language risk memo on a contract presented to you
  • Negotiation through signature where the deal requires back-and-forth

Free blank forms

The Y Combinator post-money SAFEs and the NVCA model Series A documents are published by their authors as blank forms, and the Delaware C-corp incorporation set is Eric Adar Carver’s own drafting, given away. You can have any of them from the forms shelf without engaging anyone: blank, free, no account. Downloading one is not legal advice and does not make Eric Adar Carver your attorney.

What the fees above buy is the part a blank form leaves to you — every deal point and drafting alternative resolved to your term sheet, and paper drafted to your own posture rather than to the median round.

How it works

  1. 01
    Tell me about your matter
    A short questionnaire, scoped to what's reasonably necessary to evaluate the matter - nothing more.
  2. 02
    Conflict check and scoping
    A conflict check runs before anything substantive is discussed, then the scope and fee structure are confirmed.
  3. 03
    Engagement letter, e-signed
    A clear, written agreement with every required disclosure, signed before work begins.
  4. 04
    Work begins
    You get a direct line to the attorney handling your matter - not a triage queue.

Important

Eric Adar Carver is admitted to practice law in California only. “From” fees reflect matters whose complexity cannot be fully determined until the relevant paper is reviewed; scope is confirmed before an engagement letter is signed.
