EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION LAWYER, BOSTON, MA

Modern business leadership involves high levels of responsibility, pressure and accountability. When an executive leaves a comfortable employment situation to take another position, risk and sacrifice are involved, with stability and earning potential being left behind. As an executive compensation attorney, I understand these factors and I work to make sure my executive clients receive the strongest possible compensation for their efforts, helping them secure agreements with their employers that protect their short-term and long-term interests while providing a high level of tax efficiency.

I am committed to protecting the important interests of business executives. Contact me, the Massachusetts executive compensation attorney, at rob@attorneyadelson.com  or call 617-875-8665.

 

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
