Executive Compensation
PRACTICAL ADVICE TO HELP YOU ACHIEVE YOUR EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION STRATEGIES.

Overview

We take great pride in our ability to turn complex rules like 409A, 162(m), 280G and SEC requirements into plain-English advice and disclosure for our clients. That’s why companies large and small depend on Dorsey’s Executive Compensation practice to help them stay ahead in the competition for talent. We work closely with clients to understand their goals and provide practical advice.

We help clients across the country and around the world craft and implement effective executive compensation strategies, incentive arrangements, employment agreements and benefit plans.

Our attorneys have nationally recognized experience in executive compensation, employee benefits, tax, corporate securities, estate planning, and labor and employment law. We like each other. That allows us to assemble interdisciplinary teams across our practices and offices to counsel public and private companies, established businesses and emerging companies, and exempt organizations.
