Will Bernat, a partner and co-chair of Nutter’s Emerging Companies group, and Chris Lindstrom, a partner and member of the firm’s Labor, Employment, and Benefits practice group, will present at The Capital Network’s event, “Employee Compensation & Equity: Preparing for Growth.” Will and Chris will address how understanding equity compensation is crucial as you prepare to grow and scale your team; how to create an equity plan that is both attractive to new hires and promotes retention; and best equity compensation practices from a legal and accounting perspective when hiring, firing, and incentivizing your team that will align with your startup’s fundraising and growth goals.

Questions that will be covered include:

• What is equity and how do you allocate it?
• As an early stage company with little revenue, how should I think about equity when hiring?
• How should I structure my non-competes and protect my IP rights?
• Who should receive equity now and over time?
• How do I determine “market” compensation for my sector and stage?
• What is the difference between shares, stock options, and profits interests?
• What should founders and C-Suite team members receive now and through key milestones?
• What are the tax implications for my team and me?
• How should I structure offer letters and termination policies?
