EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
Employment & Severance Agreements: What Both
Employment & ERISA Attorneys Need to Know
Thursday, November 1 6-8 p.m.
CLE credit: 2.0 pp
Live Program: $195 Member/$305 Nonmember
The design, implementation and modification of employment and separation
agreements often implicate issues under tax and employment laws. In reviewing
these contracts, ERISA attorneys may encounter unfamiliar employment issues, and
employment lawyers may be faced with ERISA concepts outside of their regular
practice. In the context of employment contracts, however, both types of issues are
of relevance to both types of attorneys. This primer will seek to provide an overview
of the various ERISA, tax and employment law considerations that are commonly
raised by employment and severance agreements, for the practitioner whose
day-to-day expertise does not span all of these areas. The panelists will walk the
attendees through an employment contract and a severance contract from the
perspective of both employment and benefits lawyers. This program is essential
for midlevel attorneys and may also serve as a nice refresher for more experienced
professionals.

Say-on-Pay and the enhanced scrutiny on executive compensation raise many practical
issues that must be handled by a company’s legal counsel. This program will focus
on the day-to-day issues confronting lawyers in the course of advising companies in
connection with the review and redesign of their executive compensation programs
and proxy disclosure, including: an overview of current proxy advisor guidelines;
recommended practices to prepare for potential shareholder derivative lawsuits; 409A
and other legal obstacles to revising compensation arrangements; and effective
communications with shareholders to gain approval of a Say-on-Pay vote.
