Canadian companies and those with connections to Canada face
continued challenges with respect to executive compensation. Public
and private companies alike are putting more resources than ever
before into developing executive compensation plans that are
attractive and tax-efficient while aligning executive and corporate
interests and remaining consistent with a focus on shareholder
value.
This revised Second Edition of Stikeman Elliott's Executive
Compensation Guide reviews the common legal issues that typically
arise in the context of executive compensation, including issues
relating to securities law, employment law, taxation, pensions law
and intellectual property. The Guide is designed to help Canadian
and international companies and their boards identify the main
challenges to focus on as they develop executive compensation plans
and policies. We hope that you and your company will find it
useful.
