Offer letters, invention assignment agreements and employment agreements for US startups hiring in California. An independent California attorney drafts new documents or reviews the ones you have.
Your first contract is free (up to $500)
One contract drafted or reviewed at no cost for new startups, by an independent California attorney.
Your offer letter and invention assignment agreement set the terms with a new hire from day one. California adds its own rules: employee non-competes are generally void under Business and Professions Code §16600, invention assignments must respect the carve-out in Labor Code §2870, and exempt status depends on both salary and duties. A template is a useful starting point, but each document should fit the role and the way your company works. Foundkits helps you get an offer letter and CIIAA prepared by an independent California attorney, from $350.
