Clients rely on us to manage corporate transitions in many forms, whether they involve making a merger or acquisition run smoothly or concluding an important compensation negotiation with a newly chosen chief executive officer. We work on every side of the benefits and compensation table in planning, negotiating and structuring company-wide and individual executive compensation packages, employment agreements, change in control agreements (golden parachutes), severance arrangements and advising on fiduciary and related issues concerning pension plans.
As an important part of the firm’s transactional practice, our lawyers regularly represent private equity firms and the compensation committees of public companies in industries such as insurance and other financial services, energy, entertainment, technology, retail and healthcare with their executive compensation planning. In addition, we also represent chief executive officers and other senior managers in negotiating and structuring employment and related agreements.
