Executive Compensation

Executive Compensation is a vital part of Miller & Chevalier's nationally recognized Employee Benefits and Tax practices. Clients regularly seek our help establishing and administering designing and drafting long-term incentive, deferred compensation, change-in-control, and equity compensation arrangements. Our practice regularly deals with implications of section 409A, section 162(m), and sections 280G and 4999 in addition to other areas such as the taxation of split dollar and executive health care.

What makes our Executive Compensation practice stand out is our ability to address the payroll-tax and information reporting implications of various arrangements, as well as other issues related to fringe benefits for executives, such as the tax treatment of executive security or the use of corporate aircraft. When cross-border issues arise, we work with our foreign tax lawyers to handle any compensation and withholding issues. Few firms can offer this breadth or "one-stop" service.

As with all components of our Employee Benefits and Tax practices, we represent clients before regulatory and legislative bodies and guide them in dealing with important developing issues. If a controversy arises, we have the knowledge and experience to address complex issues in an efficient manner.
