Executive Compensation
In this highly technical area, our group is widely known for its inventive and hands-on approach to solving business issues and problems. Our team provides advice in connection with high-profile multi-million dollar M&A transactions, public proxy statements, compensation agreements, and ERISA fiduciary matters for investment funds and plan trustees.
Why Morgan Law?
Our Executive Compensation Practice Group plays a key role in most of the transactions the firm handles on behalf of our clients. From creating, negotiating, and amending change-in-control agreements to dealing with issues that arise in connection with the assumption (or lack of assumption) of benefit plans and other employee obligations, we provide the sophisticated advice our clients expect and require to execute their most complicated strategic agreements. Today, the group has twenty dedicated professionals, including two partners.
Our executive compensation attorneys regularly advise clients on ERISA-regulated retiree pension and medical benefits, including Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation liabilities and multiemployer (union) pension plan retirement liabilities. They often provide critical support to the company’s bankruptcy practice.
Teaming with the Investment Management Group, our executive compensation experts advise leading investment firms on structuring their funds, acquisitions and dispositions, and managing ERISA fiduciary liability to minimize their risk and maximize your performance.
Our attorneys also handle the more complicated employee benefit plan and executive compensation matters. They have extensive experience in the design and implementation of innovative employment contracts and cash and share-based incentive arrangements for senior management of public and private companies.
