Experienced Handling of Core Compensation Issues
With more than 25 years of relevant legal experience, I help my clients work out employee equity deals, and severance and termination agreements, among other arrangements. I also handle core compensation issues involving:
Appropriate signing bonuses: I advise on and negotiate signing bonuses that reflect the risk and lost benefits involved in many executive employment transitions, as well as value the executive brings to a new employer.
Competitive base salary: I help executives negotiate market-based salaries commensurate with their responsibility level, their skills and experience, their industry and the size of their organization.
Optimal bonus income: Aside from signing bonuses, I help executives secure bonus structures that usually comprise three elements; 1.) a basic bonus — a minimum fixed bonus that an executive is paid for doing his or her job; 2.) bonuses paid for achievement of specific individual and company performance goals; and 3.) “blowout bonuses,” which are paid for exceeding goals.
Negotiating Competitive Benefits
Employee benefits play a key role in executive remuneration. I assist my clients in securing competitive, comprehensive executive class benefit packages that meet their needs and reflect their professional value. I can help you secure:
- Medical, dental and other health benefits, including those that accommodate particular health needs in a family
- Insurance needs, including life and disability coverage
- Retirement benefits like 401(k) and pension plans
- Relocation and temporary housing costs
- Professional expenses, including memberships, licenses and conventions
- Vacation and leave
- Legal fees
For help securing signing bonuses and other forms of executive compensation, get in touch with Attorney Robert Adelson, today. I can help you secure the compensation you deserve while protecting your interests. I provide representation and legal advice to business leaders throughout the country.
