How an Apparel & Fashion Business Hired a Lawyer to Review an Equity Compensation Agreement in New York

In 2025, a business in New York sought assistance with revising an equity compensation agreement to formalize a partnership with its long-time marketing firm. The client aimed to grant the firm a 10% equity share upon the company's exit in five years, while also addressing important details related to profit sharing, equity vesting, and stipulating conditions should the exit not occur as planned. Ensuring fairness for both parties was a top priority, as the client wanted to properly incentivize the marketing firm for their ongoing contributions. As a result, the client received 10 proposals from licensed lawyers, with flat fee bids ranging from $240 to $2,500, all submitted to fulfill the project within a week.
