In partnership with Barney & Barney and Sheppard Mullin

Executive Compensation, on either end of the negotiation, can be one of the most sensitive negotiations for an enterprise and executive.  In addition, recent changes in securities, accounting and tax regulations are have significantly impacted the structure of non-cash compensation.  Executives, and those building their management team, need to consider the various options, benefits, and terms that can be offered, and be aware of the consequences their agreements and compensation programs will incur in the future.  This workshop will present the fundamental concepts of executive and performance compensation,  and explain how these concepts are reflected in a contract.  It will also review standard compensation programs to incentivize management, and will demonstrate these points by using examples specific to executive employment agreements and equity incentive plans.
