Employee Benefits and Executive Compensation Associate

Katten, a global Am Law 100 law firm, is seeking a highly qualified Associate to join its Tax Department in the Executive Compensation and Employee Benefits Practice Group located in New York or Washington, DC. Candidates should have 3-5 years of experience in executive compensation and employee benefits matters, particularly with reference to corporate transactions, including due diligence in mergers & acquisitions; drafting, negotiating and counseling on executive compensation arrangements (equity, equity-based, incentive and nonqualified deferred compensation); 280G; 409A; and research and counseling on compliance with the Internal Revenue Code, ERISA, securities laws and other laws governing executive compensation and employee benefit plans. Work will primarily be transaction-related, largely for middle market M&A deals, and particularly with private equity sponsors, but Katten has a robust corporate practice, including public company representation, sports representation and venture capital work, all of which the Executive Compensation and Employee Benefits Practice Group provides valuable support to. Katten’s Executive Compensation and Employee Benefits Practice Group prides itself on being a positive, learning-focused environment with the possibility of advancement. #J-18808-Ljbffr Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP
