Startup lawyer here (but not your lawyer). This is good advice (ask a lawyer you trust for a referral in the right legal specialty). More particularly for this question, while the state bar can be okay for referrals, you probably want someone who has worked in labor & employment law, or someone familiar with equity agreements if equity/stock is a meaningful component of the comp (look for a "startup lawyer" or "emerging companies lawyer"). Both of those will be familiar enough with the IP issues and general contract provisions. You'd probably only want an IP specialist if you're specifically licensing prior inventions (or you have IP-heavy side projects that you want to exclude). Good luck! |
