About this Gig
Issuing equity is a highly regulated process. Handshake deals over equity can lead to disastrous tax consequences and SEC violations. As a Licensed US Attorney (Bar #64831), I specialize in drafting compliant Advisor Equity Grant Agreements.
Whether you are granting Restricted Stock or Stock Options, the documentation must be flawless to protect the founder, the company, and the advisor.
What this Gig covers:
- Restricted Stock Purchase Agreements (RSPA)
- Stock Option Grant Notices and Agreements
- Vesting terms integration
- 83(b) Election Form templates (Crucial for tax savings!)
- Unanimous Written Consent of the Board (Premium)
Ensure your startup's cap table is clean and legally sound for future venture capital due diligence. Dont risk your equity. Choose your package and let a licensed attorney handle the paperwork today.

FAQ
Should I issue Options or Restricted Stock?
Restricted stock is usually for early-stage advisors; options are better for later stages.
What is an 83(b) election?
An IRS form that can save your advisor massive amounts in future taxes. Included in Premium.
Do I need an existing Stock Incentive Plan?
To issue options (Standard package), yes. If not, we can use Restricted Stock (Basic).
Does this include a valuation of the shares?
No, this gig provides the legal drafting for the grant, not financial valuations.
Will investors check these documents?
Yes. VCs will scrutinize all equity grants during due diligence. They must be legally perfect.
