Executive compensation is a critical element in the recruitment and retention of key management employees. For both public and private employers, executive compensation matters require an inter disciplinary approach involving tax, labor, ERISA, estate planning and securities laws. We work with corporations to develop executive compensation strategies that attract, retain and reward key executives while also protecting the best interests of shareholders.

We analyze and negotiate the pension, welfare, and executive compensation aspects of Mergers and Acquisitions, correct any benefit plan-related problems or liabilities, and counsel on the consolidation and rationalization of benefit plans after a transaction is completed

We represent senior executives at public and private companies and private investment funds negotiating employment agreements, stock option and other equity compensation agreements and severance agreements.

McCormick & O’Brien LLP also handles all forms of labor and employment litigation, including those related to executive pay. Specifically, we may be able to help executives with litigation related to bonuses, severance agreements, wrongful termination, equity and stock, perquisites, and more.
