Compensation Committee
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act and recent compensation related litigation raise the bar for directors that serve on compensation committees. Directors must take into account a diverse range of considerations, including greater scrutiny by institutional investors, enhanced SEC disclosure requirements, tax rules under Section 162(m), employee relations and the impact of personal loan restrictions on executive compensation practices.
We regularly represent compensation committees navigate these complex issues. We provide briefings to directors who serve on public companies on the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the standards applicable to the compensation of executives, particularly when a change in control has been threatened. Our practice regularly involves assisting compensation committee members in fulfilling with fiduciary responsibilities and designing pay packages for outside directors.
