Let’s talk RSUs!

Does your organization grant these to attorneys? If so, please share the value and vesting periods. None at my present company, but would like to know what to expect as I interview for new roles. Thanks!

50k per year with a standard one year cliff and four year vesting schedule. Plus yearly refresh grants

likehelpful

This but 3 year schedule

like

Yes, they are a good option. It's either RSUs or stock options as the primary vehicles for employee stock. I have always sold my RSUs every year after they vest because their market value at time of vesting hits your income as a taxable event, shows up on your W2, and are taxed at the ordinary income rate. A portion of the RSUs are withheld to cover your estimated tax liability.

like

$20k worth of RSU every year with 1/3 vesting each year, fully vested after 3 years.

like

Product counsel with 6 YOE. $75k/year with one year cliff and a four year vesting schedule. Refresh grants happen on roughly a yearly basis (depends a bit). Non public company though so RSUs are not exactly liquid.

like

F10. Attorneys do get them but not until 10 YOE so I don’t have any. Vesting schedule is 3 yrs. After talking to my colleagues sounds like the amount varies based on performance

like

$60K grant each year with a 3 month cliff (only on the initial grant) and 1/4 vesting each quarter thereafter. Trending at a $10K bump each year for each new equity grant. In effect, it serves as a quarterly bonus—assuming you sell and diversify a good portion each quarter.

like

At my organization:

corporate counsel get $50k of RSUs each year;
senior counsel get $75k; and
associate general counsel get $125k.

All are on a 4 year vesting schedule.

like

Public tech. All attorneys are eligible for RSUs. New hire grants depend entirely on your negotiations (for midlevel, between $20-50k/yr, depending on your base + negotiations), then refreshers are by level (midlevel is around $10-15k/yr). All grants have 3 year vesting, 1 year cliff.

like

Reading this and realizing I got totally screwed over on my last offer/should have negotiated better!

like

For what it’s worth, depending on the company, there may be nothing to negotiate.

While my base is based on bands, and thus there’s some wiggle room, RSUs at my company are fixed based on job title/grade.

like

$64k initial grant vesting over three years. 1/3 after the first year and then eight equal quarterly installments. We get an annual refresh that I’m told averages $20-30k

like

40k annual (split 50% time and 50% performance) RSU 3 year cliff vest.

$80-100k vesting over 4 years but granted every year.
