I'm dealing with a situation and need some guidance.

409A valuation for option grants. I've been dealing with this for about 15 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have already consulted briefly with a lawyer but the other party is not cooperating.

Do I have a strong case? What should my next steps be?

I've seen this play out several times in my field.

What worked for me was hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. It took 2-4 months but was worth it.

This happened to me too. Have you tried filing a complaint with the relevant agency? In my case they investigated and it got resolved without needing a lawyer.

I've handled similar cases. Here's my take on the legal issues.

The key question is whether the applicable statute of limitations has run. Depending on your jurisdiction, you typically have the relevant statute years for this type of claim.

I'd recommend documenting everything in writing from this point forward. Keep copies of all communications.
