Executive Compensation Packages
Compensation for executives often requires tailored arrangements that balance incentives with long-term business goals. SFBBG counsels companies on structuring executive contracts, equity compensation, performance-based bonuses, severance arrangements, and change-in-control agreements. Our attorneys also negotiate employment and separation agreements, ensuring that they are clear, enforceable, and designed to advance the company’s strategic interests. We pay close attention to tax implications under the Internal Revenue Code, including Section 409A deferred compensation rules, to protect both the company and its executives.
Regulatory Guidance
The rules governing benefits and compensation are highly regulated and constantly evolving. Employers must navigate ERISA, COBRA continuation coverage, and HIPAA privacy obligations, among others. SFBBG advises clients on their compliance obligations and develops strategies to minimize risk. We also represent companies in audits, investigations, and enforcement actions brought by the Department of Labor, the Internal Revenue Service, and other regulatory bodies. Our goal is to maintain program compliance while preserving operational efficiency.
Our Approach to Employee Benefits
SFBBG’s benefits attorneys have experience advising in the non-qualified plan arena, including non-qualified deferred compensation arrangements, stock bonus plans, phantom equity, “top-hat” plans, and other executive compensation structures. We bring a strong understanding of the complex statutory and tax rules governing deferred compensation and help guide clients through these requirements with clarity and precision.
