Hiring a Startup Lawyer

Re:Hiring a Startup Lawyer by employeethrwy on Tuesday September 16, 2014 @10:03PM (#8328118)

Does anyone have any recommendations for legal advice for startup employees? Specifically, I've been offered equity in the startup I work for and would like a professional opinion on the stock grant contract they're offering etc.

Any links to blog posts, recommended lawyers, or fixed fee services would be appreciated!

Thanks for the links! I was meaning more to check over the draft of the contract they've prepared (type of stock units, terms and conditions related to vesting, etc) rather than what's a reasonable equity expectation.

In any case, I just created an account and sent a message through LawGives. If anyone else has any other links they'd be much appreciated.
