Employee Benefits & Executive Compensation

We know that in order for your company to be successful, you must meet the needs of your most valuable resource – your employees. We will work directly with the appropriate personnel within your organization to help you craft an employee benefits program that works in harmony with your organization’s distinctive goals. From design and implementation, to amendment, distribution and termination, we guide publicly traded companies, closely-held businesses and professional and tax-exempt organizations through every step of the benefit planning process.   We also assist private companies with the design and implementation of Top Hat plans, statutory and non-statutory stock option plans, SAR and phantom stock plans, and other non-qualified deferred compensation plans, all while navigating the complex tax and regulatory framework applicable to such plans. In addition, we counsel executives on structuring their compensation and benefit packages as well as their retirement or other termination of employment.   We understand that structuring the appropriate benefits package may seem overwhelming; our job is to simplify the various rules and regulations for you and recommend options that work best for your business and your employees.   Whether it’s a qualified, non-qualified or welfare benefit plan, our knowledgeable attorneys are committed to working with you to create benefits plans or programs that are supportive of your business and your staff.
