Halloran & Sage represented an asset investment management firm in the creation of two incentive-based compensation programs for employees of a company that the management firm’s associated investment controlled. The compensation programs constructed and executed by business law partner Robert Cox and attorney Casey O’Connell were uniquely tailored to the company’s structure and needs, and included employee compensation methods that were pegged to the reduction of the company’s debt and indexed against the appreciation in the company’s potential acquisition value. The solutions allowed the company to properly incentivize its employees while ensuring that the compensation arrangements appropriately fit into the company’s complex financing structure.
