Can a company revoke unvested stock options upon termination of employment?

Stock Option Agreement

I recently left my previous job and had unvested stock options as part of my compensation package. However, upon termination, the company informed me that they would be revoking all unvested stock options. I was under the impression that unvested options would still be available to me even after leaving the company, and I am now seeking legal advice to understand if the company's action is legally permissible or if I have any recourse to retain those unvested stock options.

Generally when you leave a job you forfeit all rights to unvested stock options since those "vest" or "become yours" based on time worked at the company. If you have any stock options that have vested based on your work at the Company, those may or may not be forfeited depending upon what your Stock Option Agreement says. Please review that carefully or hire a lawyer to assist you to advise on next steps.
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.

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.

I got 5 bids within 24h of posting my project. I choose the person who provided the most detailed and relevant intro letter, highlighting their experience relevant to my project. I am very satisfied with the outcome and quality of the two agreements that were produced, they actually far exceed my expectations.
