Executive Compensation & Employee Benefits Attorneys
About The Position
This consolidated listing presents four distinct yet interconnected opportunities for Executive Compensation and Employee Benefits attorneys. While varying in location, compensation, and experience level, all roles seek professionals with a shared foundational expertise, allowing candidates to potentially align with multiple openings based on their unique skill set and career aspirations. The roles are for attorneys with specialized experience in executive compensation and employee benefits law, spanning various levels of experience and locations. Candidates must possess significant experience in executive compensation, employee benefits, or tax law with a focus on compensation and benefits, demonstrating expertise in aspects such as equitable plans, 401(k) structures, pension schemes, and deferred compensation. A proven track record operating within a law firm environment, particularly with ERISA-related matters, is required. Candidates should be comfortable advising both public and private entities on intricate compensation and benefits issues and exhibit a strong aptitude for directing the executive compensation aspects of complex corporate transactions. These roles are not suitable for attorneys without direct experience in executive compensation or employee benefits, professionals seeking solely in-house corporate counsel positions, those unfamiliar with retirement plan compliance and ERISA regulations, or candidates with less than one year of relevant legal experience.
