We host a monthly webinar series on executive compensation. At this upcoming Thursday’s webinar (held at 10:00 am Central on March 9, 2023), we are covering compensation designs and market practices associated with compensating key employees of a start-up corporation.
C-Suite Compensation Center
The C-Suite Compensation Center, published by Hunton Andrews Kurth LLP, focuses on executive compensation strategies and related legal considerations. It covers topics such as compensation design for key employees and founders, tax efficiency, employment law implications, and the integration of diversity, equity, and inclusion (D&I) initiatives into executive pay structures. The blog also addresses regulatory and disclosure issues related to executive compensation, including SEC rules and proxy advisory firm regulations. It provides insights on aligning compensation with corporate governance, human capital management, and shareholder interests, particularly in publicly traded companies.
