In my experience, that amazing deal where you could never do better, usually isn't quite as unique as you think it is. There are always exceptions. So of course talk to a lawyer, and of course be willing to negotiate, if minor negotiations kill the offer, there's probably a bigger problem. But also just think through the most likely scenario, and then the worst case scenario. Could they hire you, and fire you 1 day later and you wouldn't be able to work for 4 years? There's a (I think Yiddish) expression: plan for the worst, because the best will take care of itself.
