About this Gig
Welcome! I am Laura D. Anderson, a licensed U.S. Attorney (Bar #006800). Offering equity is the best way to attract top talent to your startup, but it must be legally structured to protect the company.
Whether you are granting equity to co-founders, early employees, or strategic advisors, you need ironclad Equity Vesting Documentation. Poorly drafted equity grants can result in disputes, tax liabilities, and an uninvestable cap table.
I provide premium legal drafting to structure your equity compensation properly.
My services include:
- Advisor Equity Agreements (FAST agreement alternatives).
- Employee Stock Vesting Agreements.
- Milestone-based or Time-based vesting schedules.
- Protection against underperforming team members walking away with equity.
- Confidentiality and IP Assignment clauses tied to the vesting grant.
As a corporate attorney, I ensure your documents are precise, fair, and highly protective of your business entity. Send me a message detailing who is receiving the equity, and I will prepare your documentation promptly.

FAQ
Can you draft a vesting schedule based on performance milestones rather than time?
Absolutely. I can draft custom milestone-based vesting documents tied to specific deliverables, sales targets, or development goals.
How do advisor equity agreements differ from employee agreements?
Advisors usually vest over a shorter period (often 1-2 years) with no cliff, or a very short 3-month cliff, whereas employees typically have a 4-year schedule.
Will this include an IP Assignment clause?
Yes, for the Standard and Premium packages, I include language ensuring that the receipt of equity is contingent upon the assignment of all created IP to the company.
Do I need a stock options pool set up first?
It is highly recommended. However, I can draft agreements for direct equity grants (restricted stock/units) if you have not yet established a formal option pool.
What information do you need from me to start?
I will need the legal names of the parties, the company name/state of incorporation, the equity amount/percentage, and your desired vesting timeline.
