Mark Hamilton Email & Phone Number

I counsel clients on employee benefits and executive compensation matters, including those arising in mergers and acquisitions, financing arrangements and other types of corporate transactions. I provide counsel regarding stock-based compensation arrangements, employment agreements, change-in-control agreements and all other executive compensation arrangements. My practice includes tax matters, such as Code Section 280G golden parachute issues, performance-based compensation compliance under Code Section 162(m) and the Code Section 409A deferred compensation matters.I also advise pension plan fiduciaries, investment fund sponsors, pension plan investors, banks and other financial services firms regarding fiduciary issues and other implications arising from the US Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), including ERISA's "plan assets" rules. In addition, I counsel public companies and underwriters concerning the US Securities and Exchange Commission’s executive compensation disclosure rules.
