> economic system starts to resemble feudalism.

I've long been a proponent that capitalism is not just about the economy but is instead a larger force more akin to feudalism.


My fear is that the legal advice might make the value of exercising not worth it.


If it is not worth paying an attorney, it probably isn’t worth doing in the grand scheme of things. Take the money you would spend on exercising the options and invest it elsewhere.


Some lawyers will do an initial consult for free. You can talk with them for say thirty minutes to determine if it's worth their bother to take the case.

There are lots of situations where a letter from a lawyer gets results without you needing to do anything more beyond that. If you can afford to pay a lawyer and it won't cost more than the value of the thing you seek, I think a letter from a lawyer is a terrific idea.


Having a lawyer write a letter shouldn’t cost more than $1000 or so. I guess the shares are worth more than that?

The end goal is not to go to court, of course.


Yeah people overestimate the costs of a lawyer to help navigate beaurocracy. $1000 bucks can get you really far.

They also underestimate the cost of trials, which is $100k+ for anything serious due to discovery.


This is my primary concern. Less of looking to sell, but just exercise. Although they are not telling me how to exercise. I have a feeling they are going to try and just see if I forget about it and if not tell me a few days before the 90 days are up.


I would email them and be very clear about your concerns and expiration. Could be helpful evidence down the road.


Well it's lack of professional assistance, but they are not providing a path forward for me to actually exercise my shares.
