Acerca de este Servicio
Granting equity to early employees is how startups compete with massive corporate salaries. As a licensed U.S. attorney (Bar #64749), I draft precise Employee Equity Grant Agreements and Restricted Stock Agreements (RSAs/RSUs).
When giving away pieces of your company, the contract must strictly define what happens if the employee resigns, is fired, or if the company is acquired.
I will draft agreements that cover:
- Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) or Stock Options
- Performance-based vs. Time-based vesting
- Forfeiture and clawback provisions
- Change-of-control (acquisition) terms
- Tax withholding acknowledgments
Ensure your cap table remains clean and your company is protected from departing employees.
Select the package that fits your employee's seniority level, fill out the straightforward requirements, and I will deliver your legally binding agreement.

FAQ
What is the difference between Options and Restricted Stock?
Options give the right to buy shares later. Restricted stock gives shares now, but the company can take them back if vesting isn't met.
Can you include a clawback provision?
Yes, I can include clauses that allow the company to reclaim equity in cases of employee gross misconduct or termination for cause.
What is a Change of Control clause?
It dictates what happens to the employee's unvested equity if your startup is acquired by a larger company.
Is an 83(b) election form included?
I do not provide tax forms. Employees receiving restricted stock should consult a CPA regarding filing an 83(b) election.
Do I need this if I already have an ESOP?
Yes. The ESOP is the master rulebook. The Equity Grant Agreement is the specific contract between you and the individual employee.
