How an Automotive Business Hired a Lawyer to Draft a Phantom Stock Agreement in Utah

In 2024, a business in Utah sought assistance with drafting a phantom stock agreement to provide a retention incentive for their Operations Manager. The client wanted to establish a framework that would allow for potential yearly bonuses and equity in the event of a company sale, without requiring any initial buy-in from the employee. The agreement was particularly important for maintaining motivation and continuity within their growing automotive business. As a result, the client received six proposals from licensed lawyers, with flat fee bids ranging from $499 to $1,395, all submitted to complete the work within the requested deadline of one week.
