Executive Compensation Associate Attorney

The role 

We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced associate attorney to join our Executive Compensation team in New York or Houston.  

We advise clients through our four integrated sub-groups – Tax, Employment, Incentives and Pensions – delivering coordinated, cross‑border support on transactional, advisory and contentious matters. Our lawyers combine deep technical expertise with strong commercial and sector insight, embedding tax, workforce, remuneration and pensions considerations within the wider legal and regulatory framework. Working closely with corporate, finance, restructuring and disputes teams across jurisdictions, we provide pragmatic, solution‑focused advice on complex, multi‑jurisdictional and high‑risk issues. We act for a diverse international client base, including private capital sponsors, asset managers, multinational groups, financial institutions, trustees and insurers.

We advise public and private companies on remuneration, incentives and employment tax globally. We are trusted advisers on complex and sensitive remuneration matters, including remuneration policy, incentive design and operation and the remuneration aspects of corporate governance, regulatory issues, reputational risk, disclosure and senior executive hires and exits. 

Our work spans the full spectrum of legal, regulatory and tax matters, including remuneration packages, share-based and cash compensation - from all-employee plans, LTIPs, MIPs and deferred compensation to bespoke arrangements. We advise on standalone advisory matters and on major corporate transactions, including M&A, IPOs and other transformational events.

Our diverse client base, international footprint and broad industry experience give us a strong global perspective on emerging trends and evolving market practice.
