Development of executive compensation plans is a critical component in attracting and retaining key employees. We counsel clients to help them identify and then institute and maintain an executive compensation program carefully tailored to their organization's needs. We design and implement stock option and other equity-based plans, non-qualified deferred compensation and supplemental plans, including design of vehicles to secure plan benefits such as rabbi and "secular" trusts, incentive and bonus plans, severance benefit plans, "golden parachute" arrangements, executive life insurance programs, and executive employment and resignation agreements. We also advise on the legal ramifications of these instruments, including the effects of ERISA and tax, securities, labor, and corporate laws, and their implications to mergers and other transactions. EBG has a particular depth of experience relating to international and cross border issues affecting executives and their employers.
