I will draft bespoke employment and executive compensation agreements
Licensed US Attorney Ironclad Corporate and Employment Contracts
About this Gig
Executive compensation is highly scrutinized and legally complex. Properly structuring base pay, performance bonuses, equity, and severance is critical to attracting top talent while protecting your company's bottom line.
As a licensed US attorney (Bar #308142), I draft sophisticated employment and executive compensation agreements. I ensure clarity in performance metrics, vesting schedules, and termination triggers, minimizing the risk of costly compensation disputes.
Agreements include precise language on:
- Base salary and scheduled adjustments
- Performance-based cash bonuses
- Equity, stock options, and vesting schedules
- Clawback provisions
- Severance pay and "Good Reason" resignation triggers
- 409A and IRS compliance considerations
Whether you are structuring a package for a new CEO or finalizing a bonus plan for your sales director, I provide legally rigorous drafting.
Review the packages, select the level of complexity you require, and lets secure your executive talent legally and professionally.

FAQ
Can you draft equity vesting schedules?
Yes, the Premium package covers drafting complex compensation including stock options and vesting terms.
Do you provide tax advice?
No. While I structure agreements to be mindful of regulations like IRS Section 409A, you must consult a CPA for tax advice.
What is a clawback provision?
It is a clause that allows the company to take back bonuses or compensation if the executive commits fraud or breaches the contract.
Can you define "Cause" for termination?
Absolutely. Defining "Cause" precisely is one of the most critical aspects of a compensation agreement to protect the company.
How long does this take?
Because of the complex nature of these agreements, delivery takes between 2 to 4 days depending on the package selected.
Is my company data kept confidential?
Yes, as a licensed attorney, I am bound by strict professional confidentiality regarding all client information.
