Has anyone dealt with something like this? I'm not sure what my options are.

stock option exercise timing. I've been dealing with this for about 5 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have already done some research online but the other party is not cooperating.

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

I work in this industry and unfortunately this is very common. The good news is that when people actually push back with legal representation, companies usually settle.

I specialize in this area of law. Here's my take on the legal issues.

There are several legal theories that could apply here. The strongest is probably the relevant statute, which requires showing actionable.

You should consult with a local attorney who handles these cases. Many offer free initial consultations.
