Faegre Baker Daniels works with companies to evaluate compensation tools and structure compensation packages that attract executive talent, encourage commitment and reward results.

Because effective executive compensation representation requires integration of a variety of legal disciplines — including employment, corporate finance, tax and securities law — we take a collaborative approach, focusing on three core areas:

• Current and deferred cash compensation
• Equity compensation
• Executive agreements

To help clients stay abreast of compliance issues, our lawyers monitor developments that affect executive compensation practices, including new federal tax code requirements and guidance. We also help ensure that compensation arrangements will withstand public and regulatory scrutiny.

In coordination with our international employment and employee benefits teams, we offer worldwide executive compensation solutions. When representing individuals, we work in conjunction with our wealth management team to review executive agreements and assist with tax planning and other matters.
