Sponsorships and Speaking Engagements | 29 October 2024 | 1:00 p.m. (ET) - 14 November 2024 | 4:00 p.m. (ET)
Partners from our Employment and Executive Compensation practices will be speaking at the ABA’s Executive Compensation National Institute 2024 taking place virtually over four afternoons, 29 and 30 October and 12 and 14 November. The event is designed for those who address issues related to compensating senior executives: private practitioners, in-house corporate counsel, employee benefits consultants, service providers, compensation managers, and consultants. Partner Martha Steinman will moderate three panels, and Partner Tao Leung will join a panel to discuss non-compete agreements.
Martha will be moderating three panels including:
Current state of play with non-competes – Wednesday, 30 October 2024, 1:00 – 2:30 p.m. ET
The viability of non-competes continues to be a hot topic as both the FTC and a growing number of states seek to ban or limit them. Whether non-competes can be used and enforced has important implications for executive agreements and equity awards as well as for accounting purposes. Panelists will cover the latest legal developments in the laws, regulations and the courts with a focus on the considerations in drafting new agreements as well as the impact on 280G and financial statements.
Continuing evolution of incentive plan design - Tuesday, 12 November 2024, 1:00 – 2:00 p.m. ET
As companies consider changes to their incentive plans for 2025, compensation committees continue to (re)evaluate whether (and to what extent) they incorporate ESG into their incentive plans. In addition, they are ever focused on balancing the need for alignment of executive and shareholder outcomes with the need to retain key talent in an ever-changing economic environment. Panelists will explore these complex issues and also discuss the implications for plan design going forward.
Hot topics for proxy advisors and institutional investors – Thursday, 14 November 2024, 3:00 – 4:00 p.m. ET
This panel will discuss key issues for proxy advisors and institutional investors this past season and in the season ahead. Panelists will suggest strategies for addressing the concerns of proxy advisors and institutional investors in connection with compensation programs and offer insights on what issuers and their advisors can do to get to “yes” and not “no.”
