Executive Compensation
Vedder Price's Executive Compensation Group has extensive experience in analyzing, preparing, and negotiating CEO and other senior executive compensation arrangements. We are also frequently engaged to design and implement many types of compensation agreements and plans to achieve our clients' objectives, including the retention of key executives and the profitable growth of a business. With the increasingly restrictive limits on qualified deferred compensation plans and the growing emphasis on equity-based approaches to executive compensation, customized non-qualified plans and agreements have become an important part of the total compensation package for executives. Among the types of arrangements which we have dealt with 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.
