Reviews an advisory or board appointment agreement clause by clause against the agreed heads of terms and market-standard terms, flagging deviations and drafting suggested amendments.
In / outAppointment agreement + agreed heads of terms → clause review with flagged deviations and suggested amendments
You might say…
“The appointment letter is 20 pages and the indemnification clause alone runs to three dense paragraphs — I just want to know what's unusual before I call my lawyer.”
What it does
Reviews a draft appointment document (advisory agreement, NED letter, option agreement) against the agreed heads of terms and a standard risk checklist — IP assignment, liability/indemnity exposure, D&O insurance, conflict-of-interest scope, vesting schedule and cliff, termination provisions — flagging deviations, missing protections, and clauses warranting legal escalation. Used on receipt of each draft, before redlining or signing.
Trigger: Use when a formal advisory or board appointment agreement arrives and before engaging legal counsel, to identify which clauses warrant negotiation.
