Equity Matters

Our attorneys help you to frame the language protections that can make all the difference in receiving the benefit of your bargain. 

In many situations, employees count on equity as an essential part of their annual compensation. But there are often substantial forfeiture provisions lurking in corporate and equity-related documents.

If you are rewarded with stock options, Restricted Share Units, Performance Shares, or other types of incentive compensation for achievements you have delivered to the company, you want your employment and/or severance agreement to protect your ability to obtain that payout.
