Taxes can have a significant impact on family offices, influencing decisions around structure, investing and overall planning strategies. McDermott’s Family Office Tax Webinar Series explores the latest trends and guidance on tax planning for family offices and identifies opportunities to optimize tax efficiency.

Our first webinar covered the legal, tax and administrative considerations a family office faces when creating incentive and deferred compensation plans for employees.

Discussion topics included:

• Compensation strategies as tools to use in competing in the “war for talent”
• Long-term incentive arrangements to reward performance and foster retention
• Leveraged and non-leveraged co-investment opportunities
• Benefits of carried interest, phantom equity and profit sharing
