About this Gig
Stock Appreciation Rights (SARs) are a highly effective way to reward employees for company growth without issuing actual shares. As a licensed US Attorney (Bar #342517), I draft premium SARs plans designed to incentivize your team while protecting your cap table.
Poorly drafted SARs can trigger unintended tax consequences under IRS Section 409A. I provide meticulous, legally sound drafting that ensures your incentive structures are compliant, clear, and enforceable.
What this gig includes:
- Master SARs Plan (Establishing the framework)
- SARs Award Agreements (Detailing vesting, base price, and payout)
- Board of Directors Resolution (Corporate authorization)
Benefits of my service:
- Drafted by a licensed US corporate attorney
- Tailored to your specific corporate goals
- Structurally designed for future investor due diligence
Do not risk your companys financial future on copy-paste templates. Secure your incentive plans with professional legal counsel.
Note: I deliver all services and communications directly through the Fiverr platform.
Field of law:
Intellectual property
Document type:
Stock option agreement

FAQ
What is the difference between SARs and Options?
Unlike stock options, SARs do not require the employee to pay an exercise price. They simply receive the cash (or stock) equivalent of the stock's increase in value.
Do I need a formal plan, or just an agreement?
You need a Master Plan to govern the rules, and individual Grant Agreements for each employee. My Standard and Premium packages include both.
Will this affect my Cap Table?
SARs settled in cash do not dilute your cap table. If settled in stock, they will. We will structure the plan based on your preference.
Is this suitable for a startup?
Absolutely. SARs are an excellent way for startups to conserve cash while heavily incentivizing early employees.
How long does the drafting process take?
Delivery times are listed in the packages, but standard delivery is 5 days. I ensure every clause is tailored to your business.
