After plans are in place, we continue to offer ways to update plans to take full advantage of changes in the legal environment.

We help both executives and companies structure incentive and compensation packages that keep key employees satisfied and motivated. Our guidance covers the full array of compensation arrangements, including employment, severance and change-in-control agreements; and stock option, equity and other incentive compensation plans. Golden parachutes and compensation in excess of $1 million create special complications. We provide the knowledge to deal with these concerns.

Employee benefit plans are playing an increasingly important role in M&A deals. These plans are used in financings, takeover defenses and a variety of other ways. As a result, buyers, sellers, lenders and plan fiduciaries all are interested in using these plans to their best advantage – and we show them how, without violating governing laws and rules.
