Successful businesses must attract, retain and motivate talented and dynamic employees in fiercely competitive markets. To achieve this goal it is important to design, implement and administer effective compensation and benefits arrangements. 

We partner our expertise in employment law with experts in pensions and benefits, securities, taxation and corporate governance and regulation to help our clients create innovative and tax-effective compensation and benefits arrangements for employees and senior executives.  This may include: stock option plans, restricted stock plans, deferred share unit plans, stock purchase plans, phantom stock plans, omnibus stock plans, equity-based incentive programs, broad-based profit sharing plans and other bonus and incentive plans, supplementary retirement plans and their related funding instruments, change in control arrangements, non-competition / confidentiality provisions, and severance arrangements.
