Our Employee Benefits and Executive Compensation (EBEC) practice assists clients in the full range of employee benefits, executive compensation and ERISA matters. We serve clients ranging from start-ups to Fortune 50 companies, as well as real estate and private equity funds, helping align benefits and compensation strategy with governance, disclosure, and risk management priorities.  

We advise employers, boards, compensation committees, and executives on retirement, health and welfare plans; executive and equity compensation; fiduciary issues and plan investments; business transactions; and benefit controversies.  

Providing legal advice in these areas requires sophisticated knowledge not only of ERISA and related benefits laws, but also of tax, securities and employment laws. We are regularly called on to handle complex, cross-border EBEC issues arising from billion-dollar M&A transactions, restructurings, financings and litigation.
