Employment, Benefits and Executive Compensation
SNR Denton lawyers are leading authorities in employment,
employee benefits and executive compensation. We provide clear
and practical advice to help you achieve your goals and a seamless
service covering tax, fiduciary, governance, litigation, workforce
restructuring, union-related and regulatory issues.
We can assist with all types of retirement, pension and deferred
compensation plans. We also deal with equity and cash-based
incentive plans for executives (from annual bonuses to long-term
stock options) and the full variety of other equity-based incentive
plans.
We provide a complete service covering design and set-up, plan
modification, administration and communications, the investment of
plan assets and fiduciary responsibilities.
Our practice covers advising on employment and severance
arrangements, compensation risk assessments, corporate governance
and the disclosure of directors' and officers' compensation, both
on an ongoing basis and in corporate transactions and
restructurings. With respect to the employment aspects of corporate
transactions, we take a comprehensive approach, including
performing due diligence, contract and claims exposure analysis and
negotiations, as well as drafting and enforcing restrictive
covenants and contractual provisions.
We also have extensive experience working with employer group
health plans and their insurers and administrative service
providers. We help employers with the challenges of balancing
costs against the value of quality health care and with modifying
plans in response to regulatory changes.
Furthermore, SNR Denton advises clients
regarding all aspects of the employment relationship, including
handling litigation regarding high-profile and sensitive
investigations of whistleblower claims, retaliation claims,
employee misconduct, harassment and discrimination claims.
Our clients include private, public and
not-for-profit companies, pension scheme trustees, financial
institutions, individual executives, compensation committees of
boards of directors, insolvency practitioners and government
bodies.
