She also worked for Hewlett Packard for another eight (8) years, providing legal services in over a hundred countries around and now currency works at a high-end international equity boutique law firm.

Upstock’s equity plans have been carefully designed, reviewed and updated (when necessary). Several top attorneys have had the chance to evaluate and work on it.
Moreover, because Upstock is an advocate of standardization of legal agreements, we ensure that our agreements are fair to both companies and workers. This allows both parties to trust each other and not worry that they will lose out in the end when they sign the agreement. Trust increases transaction speed and increases people's ability to work together. We use a one-size-fits-most approach with knobs and dials for some requested modifications to accommodate the unique circumstances of each company and its workforce.
