The Opportunity

You will work directly with two market-leading Executive Compensation partners, formerly of Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz and Simpson Thacher & Bartlett, on sophisticated, transaction-driven compensation work typically seen at the top of the market; within a lean, agile platform that offers significantly more autonomy and flexibility than traditional BigLaw structures.

You will play a key role in advising on executive compensation and employee benefits issues that are central to complex corporate transactions and sensitive executive matters. This is a high-visibility role with direct partner interaction and meaningful client exposure.

What You'll Do:

  • Advising on executive compensation and employee benefits issues in connection with M&A, private equity transactions, IPOs, joint ventures, and restructurings
  • Counseling founders, CEOs, senior executives, and boards on:
  • Executive employment and retention agreements
  • Equity incentive and carried interest structures
  • Deferred compensation and incentive arrangements
  • Change-in-control and termination protections
  • Performance-based compensation design
  • Providing strategic guidance on tax and ERISA considerations, including equity compensation and nonqualified deferred compensation programs
  • Supporting compensation aspects of complex and often confidential corporate events

Why This Role Is Different

  • Direct access to senior partners with elite big-firm pedigrees
  • High-end, transaction-driven work without traditional BigLaw layers
  • Greater responsibility and client exposure earlier
  • Remote flexibility with a sophisticated national client base
  • Opportunity to build a true specialty practice in executive compensation

What We're Looking For:

  • 4–8 years of executive compensation and employee benefits experience
  • Experience at an Am Law 50 or comparably sophisticated practice preferred
  • Strong experience in transaction-related compensation matters
  • Excellent technical skills in tax and ERISA aspects of executive compensation
  • Ability to operate independently in a fast-paced, high-level advisory environment

Benefits: Full-time employees are eligible for enrollment in our Medical, Dental, and Vision insurance plans, as well as our 401(k)-retirement program.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
