About this Gig
To scale successfully, startups must reward performance with equity. However, issuing equity incorrectly can create tax nightmares and dilute founder control.
As a licensed U.S. attorney (Bar No. #003814), I will draft comprehensive Equity Incentive Agreements tailored to your business structure. Whether you want to issue Restricted Stock Units (RSUs), Restricted Stock, or Phantom Equity, I will create the exact legal framework you need.
My drafting services cover:
- Restricted Stock Purchase Agreements (RSPA)
- Equity Incentive Plans for broad-based team compensation
- Phantom Stock / Stock Appreciation Rights (SARs) plans
- Inclusion of standard 83(b) election terms
I do not rely on basic boilerplate. Every agreement features carefully crafted vesting schedules, acceleration clauses (single/double trigger), and repurchase rights that safeguard the company if an employee leaves.
Ensure your equity compensation strategy is legally sound and fully optimized. Review the packages and secure your custom equity incentive documents today!

FAQ
Should I issue Restricted Stock or Stock Options?
Options give the right to buy shares later; restricted stock grants shares upfront subject to vesting. I can help document either based on your strategy.
Do you include vesting schedules?
Absolutely. Standard packages include traditional 4-year vesting with a 1-year cliff, but I can fully customize this based on your needs.
What is an 83(b) election and is it included?
An 83(b) election allows employees to pay taxes on equity upfront. My documents include necessary references and frameworks to facilitate this.
Can you draft Phantom Stock agreements?
Yes. If you want to share financial upside without giving away actual voting shares, I can draft a custom Phantom Stock plan.
Are these documents ready to sign?
Yes. Once finalized and approved by your board, these documents are formatted and ready for your employees' signatures.
