Executive Compensation
The Executive Compensation Group of Vedder Price is a team of attorneys that leverages experience and leadership skills to create win-win solutions. As more companies look outside of their organizations for talented individuals to fill their top positions, this type of skilled negotiation becomes even more important. Executive negotiations have never been more complex, often requiring expert advice from across disciplines such as competitive pay benchmarking, equity make-whole analysis, accounting treatment, securities law disclosure, estate planning, tax law, retirement and financial planning, and employee benefits and pension law. The Executive Compensation Group has extensive experience with these areas and leverages the full range of Vedder Price in-house resources to create and negotiate the deal that is optimal for each client. Among types arrangements which we have dealt extensively are:
- CEO and other executive officer employment agreements and severance arrangements;
- Director compensation arrangements;
- Annual cash incentive plans;
- Long-term cash incentive compensation plans;
- Equity-based incentive compensation plans (using stock options, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights, performance units, and other equity-based interests);
- Deferred compensation arrangements;
- Supplemental retirement benefit arrangements;
- Change-in-control agreements and other officer and employee protection programs; and
- Indemnification arrangements.
