Our employee benefits attorneys are skilled in designing creative solutions to deferred compensation and executive compensation programs. We have designed long-term incentive programs, stock option programs, phantom stock programs, as well as conventional deferred compensation programs. We are creative. However, our creativity has limits and we understand where to “draw lines” in difficult judgment cases. We understand the Internal Revenue Service rules governing deferred compensation and executive compensation but also recognize that this area is less than clearly regulated and requires good, sound judgment in drafting plans.
