Unvested equity is often one of the most contested issues in high-asset divorces because it represents compensation that may be received in the future. This sprint examines how unvested grants are treated during divorce negotiations and why different interpretations can lead to significantly different outcomes. Participants explore the uncertainty associated with future vesting and how that uncertainty affects settlement decisions.

The session focuses on identifying the factors that influence the potential value of unvested equity, including vesting schedules, employment conditions, and termination triggers. Participants develop a framework for evaluating risk and understanding how unvested grants may be considered in negotiations. By the end of the sprint, participants will have a clearer picture of how future compensation may affect the financial structure of their divorce.
