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.
