Baker Botts L.L.P. is renowned for its ‘sophisticated, practical advice’ on all aspects of compensation and employee benefit plans under the Internal Revenue Code and ERISA. The firm tackles emerging issues such as pay-versus-performance disclosure, clawback provisions, and non-compete clauses. New York-based Robin Melman, at the helm of the practice, addresses corporate governance matters, disclosure requirements, and tax implications associated with management transitions and transaction negotiations. Jason Loden in Dallas offers his expertise in qualified retirement plans, non-qualified deferred compensation plans, and welfare benefit schemes, and Houston’s Gail Stewart is well-versed in equity-based incentive plans, golden parachute arrangements, and designing executive compensation programs. Meanwhile, Katie Birnhak in New York advises both public and private firms on various executive compensation matters.
