Executive Compensation & Key Talent Transitions
Benesch’s Executive Compensation & Benefits attorneys counsel employers in the negotiation and drafting of executive and officer employment agreements and incentive plans, and advise on executive onboarding, transitions and exits.
Our team guides clients as they navigate sensitive employee separation issues and drafts and negotiates the associated agreements and communications, focusing on compliance, business continuity and risk management.
We regularly advise compensation committees, boards and management teams on retention strategies and corporate governance considerations tied to executive pay, equity, incentive plans and change-in-control scenarios, both during ordinary course operations and in connection with M&A transactions or other inflection points.
