Our Executive Compensation and Employee Benefits team has experience working with companies, boards of directors and individuals in navigating the ever-changing technical rules relating to all aspects of compensation and benefits.
Executive Compensation—we design, negotiate and draft executive compensation arrangements, while balancing the often competing interests of the parties. Our team has represented high-profile companies and individuals across a broad array of compensation matters, including employment, separation and change-of-control agreements and equity compensation arrangements, taking into account tax considerations, securities laws, and SEC disclosure requirements.
M&A, Finance and Restructuring—we possess a deep understanding of the compensation and benefits aspects of all forms of corporate transactions, including mergers and acquisitions, IPOs, financings and restructurings. In addition we provide advice on post-transaction arrangements for the board and management.
Fiduciary Responsibility—we counsel clients regarding all aspects of investment by benefit plans, including designing arrangements to be compliant with the fiduciary responsibility and prohibited transaction rules of ERISA.
Employee Benefit Arrangements – we advise clients on all aspects of plan design and compliance related to pension and welfare benefit plans and advise regarding litigation involving these arrangements.
