Make the Most of Your Stock Options
Executive and consultant compensation is a financially complex proposition these days, particularly when equities are involved. To ensure you are adequately rewarded for your performance, and that you make the most of those rewards, Clark Nuber offers our expertise in the following areas:
Equity Compensation
Our professionals can play an integral role in negotiating the equity, stock option, or restricted stock portion of your employment or consulting contract, helping you to decide whether Restricted Stock, Incentive or Non-Qualified Stock Options, Phantom Stock, or Deferred Compensation is the best fit for your personal situation. We take special care to ensure that you and your family will be protected if your employment situation changes unexpectedly. We can also play the reverse role of advising entrepreneurs with the best options for equity compensation from a company perspective.
Stock Option and Restricted Stock Advice
Exercising stock options in the wrong tax year can have disastrous financial results. Fortunately, these can be prevented with proper planning. We analyze all the “what-if” scenarios for exercising your options, including reverse vesting, filing an 83(b) election for restricted stock, transferring the stock or options to other family members, or receiving a profits interest from a Limited Liability Company.
