Equity compensation
- Equity ties into Corporate Governance - For those companies with a complex cap table, we often find that equity issued to founders, key executives, investors, noteholders, employees/optionholders, etc. has been done incorrectly.
- Equity ties into Employment Compliance - Companies that have an equity incentive plan typically have regular hiring/firing activities that should all be the responsibility of the Company's corporate counsel.
