Executive Compensation
We design and negotiate executive compensation programs that align incentives, attract top-tier leadership, and comply with complex regulatory frameworks. Our work spans employment agreements, equity incentives (ISOs, RSUs, SARs), golden parachutes, and 409A compliance—often in high-stakes transactional and governance contexts.
FAQs:
Q: How can a company structure equity grants to executives?
A: We tailor stock option, restricted stock, and profits interest plans based on the company’s capitalization, tax profile, and liquidity strategy.
Q: What are Section 409A risks and how are they mitigated?
A: Section 409A imposes strict rules on deferred compensation. Noncompliance results in immediate taxation and penalties. We ensure plan documents and timing comply fully.
