What’s Included
A standard team documentation framework.
Each Build a Team Kit delivers the following within standard scope — documenting who works with the business, what they’re responsible for, who owns the work, and what protections apply.
Contractor & advisor
Standard independent contractor and advisor agreements for the people supporting the business.
Engagement docs···
Independent contractor agreement
Advisor agreement
Service expectations
Confidentiality & IP
Confidentiality and invention-assignment provisions, with restrictive-covenant language where legally available.
IP & confidentiality···
Confidentiality obligations
Invention / IP assignment
Restrictive covenants (where available)
Intake call
One call to confirm roles, worker types, jurisdictions, IP needs, and confidentiality concerns.
One revision round
One consolidated round of reasonable comments, reviewed and incorporated within scope.
Diligence-ready records
Cleaner team records for future investor, financing, or acquisition diligence.
What This Kit Solves
Document the team before informal arrangements create risk.
For companies moving beyond founder-only operations — standard documentation before people begin creating work product, accessing confidential information, or representing the company.
The problem
Informal hiring creates risk
Informal hiring and contractor arrangements create avoidable risk around IP ownership, confidentiality, role expectations, classification, and post-engagement obligations.
The outcome
Documented before work begins
Standard team documentation in place before people create work product, access confidential information, or represent the company externally.
Fixed fee · CAD $3,950
Standard team documentation scope — employee, contractor, advisor, confidentiality, IP ownership, and restrictive-covenant documentation where legally available. Intake, conflict check, and scope confirmation are required before engagement; HST and disbursements are separate.

Scope Boundaries

How This Connects
Where the Build a Team Kit fits in your legal sequence.
Most companies use the Build a Team Kit alongside or after related kits. Directional only — each step is subject to intake and engagement terms.
Form the company first.
Use Launch first if the company hasn’t been formed yet.
Start IncorporationSet the founder rulebook.
Founder governance should generally be in place before the team expands.

View ESOP Plan KitEquity tied to contribution.
For a team member or advisor receiving restricted shares or vesting equity.
View Equity KitCounsel on standing terms.

Employment disputes, executive arrangements, foreign workers, terminations, or tailored covenant review.

How the Engagement Works
From intake to delivery — a clear, lawyer-led process.
The fixed fee does not apply automatically. Submitting intake does not create a lawyer-client relationship until Fauri Law confirms the engagement in writing.

Does this include employment agreements?
Yes, for standard-scope matters — a standard employee offer letter and employment agreement package. If the role is executive-level, compensation is complex, or terms are negotiated, the matter may require revised scope or Advisory & Transactional Work.
Does this include contractor agreements?
Yes — a standard independent contractor agreement for standard-scope relationships. Classification concerns, foreign contractors, unusual payment structures, or significant IP/commercial risks may need additional review.
Does this include advisor agreements?
Yes — a standard advisor agreement. If the advisor will receive equity or options, separate equity or ESOP scope may be required.
Does this include IP assignment?
Yes. Confidentiality and invention-assignment provisions are included, helping ensure work product and company-related IP are properly assigned to the company where appropriate.
Does this include non-competes?
The kit may include restrictive-covenant language where legally available and appropriate. It does not casually include non-compete language as a standard promise — restrictive covenants must be considered carefully based on role, jurisdiction, legal limits, and the business interest being protected.
Does this include equity compensation?
No. Stock options, restricted shares, advisor equity, and other incentive equity are not included. If equity is part of the compensation structure, the next step may be the ESOP Plan Setup Kit, the Equity Structuring Kit, or separately scoped advisory work.
Does this include contractor classification advice?
No. A classification memo or detailed review is not included. If there’s uncertainty about whether a worker should be an employee or contractor, that issue should be separately scoped.
Does this include termination advice?
No. Termination advice, discipline issues, severance, employment disputes, or threatened claims are not included — those matters require separate advisory scope.
Can this be used for foreign employees or contractors?
Not as standard scope. Foreign employees and contractors, cross-border employment, immigration, payroll, tax, and local-law issues require separate review.
Does this include an employee handbook?
No. Employee handbooks, workplace policies, remote-work policies, and compensation, bonus, or commission plans are not included unless separately scoped.
What happens after delivery?
You’ll have standard team documentation in place for approved scope. Common next steps include the ESOP Plan Setup Kit for options, the Equity Structuring Kit for restricted shares or vesting, Ongoing Counsel Support for recurring needs, or Advisory & Transactional Work for bespoke matters.
