Stock Incentives

We have advised and represented many companies in setting up equity incentives for key people.

There are typically two important groups for equity incentives: founders and key employees (or contractors).

Founder issues usually involve granting the company repurchase option rights if a founder leaves the company or attempts to compete.

With respect to other key people, we advise and prepare documents for:

  • Stock option plans
  • Incentive stock options (ISOs)
  • Non-qualified stock options (NSOs)
  • Immediate-exercise options
  • Deferred-payment options
  • Associated plan administration
  • Restricted stock grants
  • Section 83(b) elections
  • Tax advice for equity incentives
  • Restructuring option plans

Stock incentives are not for all businesses, but those who use them need to do them right. We can provide you with the needed expertise for this purpose.
