What are Stock Options?
When an investor has a stock option, it means that they are entitled to be able to sell their shares in stock at a pre-determined time and for an agreed upon price. Stock options give investors the right to sell their shares; it’s important to note that there is no obligation for stockholders to do so.
Stock Options Examples
Examples of features of stock options:
- Example 1. Two types: put options and call options
- Example 2. Terms are defined in a legal contract
- Example 3. Investors bet on whether a stock’s value will rise or fall
- Example 4. If investors bet correctly, a higher return on their investment is achieved

Contracts Counsel was incredibly helpful and easy to use. I submitted a project for a lawyer's help within a day I had received over 6 proposals from qualified lawyers. I submitted a bid that works best for my business and we went forward with the project.

I never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.
