Executive Compensation & Employee Benefits

We help plan sponsors and employers design, implement, and administer benefit and compensation programs that attract, incentivize, and retain talent, control cost, and withstand regulatory scrutiny.

Our executive compensation lawyers integrate relevant legal disciplines – corporate, tax, employment, benefits, and securities law – with business considerations to address complex issues around compensation and benefits.

We help companies and executives structure incentive packages that keep key employees engaged and motivated. Our work helps companies maintain their competitive edge in demanding markets.

We work with you to minimize your exposure to liability by ensuring compliance with the complex regulatory standards associated with executive compensation and other compensation and benefits practices. This requires careful planning and a balance of legal and practical considerations. Our team delivers innovative and effective solutions to the challenges faced by employers, administrators, fiduciaries, lenders, and executives in connection with the full range of compensation-related issues. 

We understand the challenges faced by boards of directors, board committees, and other key stakeholders in this era of heightened and ever-shifting enforcement and investigative priorities.  

In addition to executive compensation matters, our lawyers advise on employee benefit plans and programs, and health and welfare benefit plans. We provide tailored advice to address your specific needs on the implementation, operation, and termination of such plans and arrangements. When you entrust a matter to us, we do more than advise on the law – we work to create comprehensive solutions to benefit you and your business.
