Description

Employee Benefits and Executive Compensation Client Strategies is an authoritative, insider’s perspective on best practices for successfully working with clients to resolve employee benefits and executive compensation matters. Featuring partners and chairs from some of the nation’s leading law firms, these experts provide strategies for analyzing disputes, understanding the roles and motivations of key players, and avoiding common mistakes. From evaluating the rights and responsibilities within the contract to assessing tax complications, these leaders offer key strategies for constructing compensation plans, establishing employment terms, evaluating severance benefits, and utilizing incentive and equity compensation. Additionally, these top experts give tips on maximizing due diligence, protecting the client, and preventing risks. The different niches represented and the breadth of perspectives presented enable readers to get inside some of the great legal minds of today as these experienced lawyers offer up their thoughts around the keys to navigating an increasingly-enforced and ever-changing area of law.

Inside the Minds provides readers with proven business intelligence from C-Level executives (Chairman, CEO, CFO, CMO, Partner) from the world’s most respected companies nationwide, rather than third-party accounts from unknown authors and analysts. Each chapter is comparable to an essay/thought leadership piece and is a future-oriented look at where an industry, profession, or topic is headed and the most important issues for the future. Through an exhaustive selection process, each author was hand-picked by the Inside the Minds editorial board to author a chapter for this book.
