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.
