About this Gig
Attracting and retaining top-tier executives, key employees, and strategic advisors requires institutional-grade equity incentives. I am Karch Eric Edwin, a licensed US Attorney (Bar #284333). I draft legally sound Employee Stock Option Plans (ESOP), Management Equity Grants, and Advisory Share Agreements that align incentives while protecting founder control.
Improperly structured option plans can trigger crippling IRS Section 409A penalties, dilute founders prematurely, and create regulatory non-compliance. I deliver precision instruments tailored for both C-Corporations (ISOs and NSOs) and LLCs (Profits Interests).
What You Receive:
- Complete Company Equity Incentive Plans (ESOP) and Operating Rules
- Incentive Stock Option (ISO) and Non-Qualified Stock Option (NSO) Agreements
- Form of Option Grant Notices and Exercise Agreements
- FAST-Compliant Advisor Equity Agreements with Vesting Schedules
- Board of Directors and Stockholder Plan Approval Resolutions
Secure elite executive talent without risking your capitalization table or violating US securities and tax codes.
Select your package above to build your equity incentive structure today.

FAQ
What is the difference between an ISO and an NSO?
Incentive Stock Options (ISOs) are reserved exclusively for employees and carry favorable capital gains tax treatment. Non-Qualified Stock Options (NSOs) can be issued to employees, advisors, directors, and independent contractors.
Can this plan be used for an LLC instead of a C-Corp?
Yes. For LLCs, I draft Profits Interest Plans or Unit Option Plans designed specifically under partnership tax structures to avoid premature taxation.
How many shares should be reserved for our company option pool?
Seed and early-stage venture-backed companies typically reserve between 10% and 15% of fully diluted capitalization for their initial employee option pool.
Does this protect the company if an executive leaves early?
Yes. All agreements include clear exercise windows (post-termination exercise periods), non-compete/non-solicitation covenants where permitted by law, and strict forfeiture mechanics.
Are FAST (Founder Advisor Standard Template) terms supported?
Yes. I draft standard and bespoke Advisor Equity Agreements that incorporate market-standard vesting (typically 1–2 years monthly without cliff) tied directly to strategic advisory scopes.
Do these plans address Section 409A compliance?
Yes. The plan rules mandate fair-market-value exercise pricing and standard valuation compliance protocols to ensure the company avoids Section 409A tax penalties.
