The Opportunity 
You will work directly with two market-leading Executive Compensation partners, formerly of Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz and Simpson Thacher & Bartlett, on sophisticated, transaction-driven compensation work typically seen at the top of the market; within a lean, agile platform that offers significantly more autonomy and flexibility than traditional BigLaw structures. 
You will play a key role in advising on executive compensation and employee benefits issues that are central to complex corporate transactions and sensitive executive matters. This is a high-visibility role with direct partner interaction and meaningful client exposure. 

What You'll Do:

  • Advising on executive compensation and employee benefits issues in connection with M&A, private equity transactions, IPOs, joint ventures, and restructurings 
  • Counseling founders, CEOs, senior executives, and boards on: 
  • Executive employment and retention agreements 
  • Equity incentive and carried interest structures 
  • Deferred compensation and incentive arrangements 
  • Change-in-control and termination protections 
  • Performance-based compensation design 
  • Providing strategic guidance on tax and ERISA considerations, including equity compensation and nonqualified deferred compensation programs 
  • Supporting compensation aspects of complex and often confidential corporate events 

Why This Role Is Different 

  • Direct access to senior partners with elite big-firm pedigrees 
  • High-end, transaction-driven work without traditional BigLaw layers 
  • Greater responsibility and client exposure earlier 
  • Remote flexibility with a sophisticated national client base 
  • Opportunity to build a true specialty practice in executive compensation 

What We're Looking For:

  • 4-8 years of executive compensation and employee benefits experience 
  • Experience at an Am Law 50 or comparably sophisticated practice preferred 
  • Strong experience in transaction-related compensation matters 
  • Excellent technical skills in tax and ERISA aspects of executive compensation 
  • Ability to operate independently in a fast-paced, high-level advisory environment 

Benefits:
Full-time employees are eligible for enrollment in our Medical, Dental, and Vision insurance plans, as well as our 401(k)-retirement program.
