Practice Areas & Industries: Jones Day

Practice/Industry Group Overview

The full-service capabilities of our Employee Benefits & Executive Compensation team extend to the many facets of executive compensation arrangements, including:

• CEO-level and other employment, change-in-control, and severance agreements.
• Stock-based incentive plans.
• Supplemental retirement arrangements.
• Deferred-compensation plans.
• Director compensation.

Our lawyers work with other Jones Day lawyers, as well as employers' accountants and compensation consultants, to handle all of the disciplines that bear on executive compensation arrangements: tax, ERISA, state corporation and federal securities laws, stock exchange listing requirements, accounting requirements, and the concerns of institutional investors. In this difficult area, our experience, technical abilities, and sound judgment are critical to success. We understand the strategic concerns, contribute to the planning process, and implement the program.
