The Opportunity
You will work directly with two market-leading Executive Compensation partners, formerly of Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz and Simpson Thacher & Bartlett, on sophisticated, transaction-driven compensation work typically seen at the top of the market; within a lean, agile platform that offers significantly more autonomy and flexibility than traditional BigLaw structures. You will play a key role in advising on executive compensation and employee benefits issues that are central to complex corporate transactions and sensitive executive matters. This is a high-visibility role with direct partner interaction and meaningful client exposure.
What You'll Do
- Advising on executive compensation and employee benefits issues in connection with M&A, private equity transactions, IPOs, joint ventures, and restructurings
- Counseling founders, CEOs, senior executives, and boards on:
- Executive employment and retention agreements
- Equity incentive and carried interest structures
- Deferred compensation and incentive arrangements
- Change-in-control and termination protections
- Performance-based compensation design
- Providing strategic guidance on tax and ERISA considerations, including equity compensation and nonqualified deferred compensation programs
- Supporting compensation aspects of complex and often confidential corporate events
Why This Role Is Different
- Direct access to senior partners with elite big-firm pedigrees
- High-end, transaction-driven work without traditional BigLaw layers
- Greater responsibility and client exposure earlier
- Remote flexibility with a sophisticated national client base
- Opportunity to build a true specialty practice in executive compensation
What We're Looking For
- 4–8 years of executive compensation and employee benefits experience
- Experience at an Am Law 50 or comparably sophisticated practice preferred
- Strong experience in transaction-related compensation matters
- Excellent technical skills in tax and ERISA aspects of executive compensation
- Ability to operate independently in a fast-paced, high-level advisory environment
