I am a member in the firm’s Employment, Labor and Benefits section of the New York office. I have extensive experience handling executive compensation issues in mergers and acquisitions, venture capital investments, private equity financing and other transactional contexts. I draft and negotiate on behalf of buyers, sellers and management teams the compensation and equity arrangements for senior level executives that drive and reward performance. I also structure and implement deferred compensation arrangements, performance bonus plans, option and restricted stock awards, synthetic equity plans and equity participation in limited liability companies, partnerships and corporations. Finally, I counsel clients and litigate with respect to a broad range of business issues, with an emphasis on employment law issues as they relate to business disputes and transactions.
