### Can I offer equity to team members on Oyster?

Yes, but the type of equity you can award compliantly will differ by country.  
### Does Oyster support equity events like vesting and exercise?

In short, yes, but there are important distinctions to make. Oyster will support the necessary tax withholding and reporting on these equity events in countries where the obligation lies with Oyster. In other cases where the obligation lies with the grantor, Oyster can help customers understand what the responsibilities are and the actions to take.

### Does Oyster provide legal advice on issuing equity?

No, Oyster does not provide legal advice on issuing equity. For the most part, our equity solution holds the knowledge you need to put together a compliant equity plan yourself and reduce the need to engage lawyers. However, you should consult with a tax advisor or legal professional if you're unsure.
