What Guard-Clause catches in partnership agreements
Vague Equity Split with No Vesting
§3 — Equity & Ownership
Equity is divided but there's no vesting schedule, no cliff, and no mechanism to recover shares if a partner leaves early. A co-founder could leave after 3 months and keep 50%.
No Deadlock Resolution
§5 — Decision Making
Equal partners with no tie-breaking mechanism. If you disagree on a major decision, there's no process for resolution — the company stalls.
IP Assignment Not Defined
§7 — Intellectual Property
There's no clause specifying that IP created for the partnership belongs to the partnership. Each partner may retain rights to their contributions.
No Buy-Sell or Exit Mechanism
§10 — Dissolution & Exit
If a partner wants to leave, there's no buyout formula, no right of first refusal, and no process for valuation. Exits become lawsuits.
