Executive and Incentive Compensation
The attorneys at Kotz Sangster have extensive experience representing businesses, regardless of size, and key executives in connection with the design and implementation of executive compensation packages. Careful attention is required to navigate the extensive and complex tax regulations without violating the deferred compensation laws and to optimize the tax benefits to both the business and the executive. Our experience includes the drafting, negotiation and implementation of executive compensation benefit plans, including bonus plans, long-term incentive plans (LTIPs), stock option plans, phantom stock plans, stock appreciation plans, key man life insurance agreements, supplemental executive retirement plans (SERPs), excess benefit plans, top hat deferred compensation agreements and rabbi trusts, including compliance with Internal Revenue Code Section 409A.
