Executive Pension & Other Benefit Programs

Vedder Price’s employee benefits attorneys also have extensive knowledge advising clients with respect to the corporate, securities, fiduciary and tax law considerations in the design and implementation of executive employment and severance agreements and stock-based and other incentive programs. Our executive compensation practice has been featured in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times and other national media. With the increasingly restrictive limits on qualified plans, nonqualified plans have become an important part of an executive’s total compensation package. Vedder Price attorneys are also active in corporate and securities transactions, assisting clients in the corporate, securities, employee benefits and compensation aspects of capital-raising, acquisitions and divestitures. Additionally, the firm has participated in the preparation of comments on regulations dealing with the implications of the securities laws on executive compensation and employee benefit programs.
