The attorneys in Willkie’s Executive Compensation & Employee Benefits Department are uniquely positioned to help clients successfully navigate through the ever-changing world of executive compensation and employee benefits.
Our Executive Compensation & Employee Benefits Department offers a full range of legal services to public and private entities, boards of directors, compensation committees, management teams and individual executives regarding complex executive compensation and employee benefit matters. We are among the leaders in the industry in designing, negotiating, drafting and implementing cutting edge plans, programs and policies for compensating, attracting and retaining key executives, employees, partners and board members. We also provide comprehensive service to our clients in resolving complicated fiduciary and compliance issues under ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code, and play an integral role in the firm’s other transactional practice areas.
To better serve our clients, we have developed a broad range of experience that extends beyond what is typically classified as traditional employee benefits work, including an extensive knowledge of securities, partnership, restructuring and tax laws. We have also cultivated strong relationships with compensation industry professionals (such as compensation consultants, actuaries, accountants and valuation experts) outside of the firm, and are able to work effectively with these professionals to facilitate more expeditious and favorable results for our clients.
