Executive Compensation & Separation

What this is.

When an executive leaves a company — or is pushed out — the dispute is rarely just about severance. It involves unvested equity, bonuses, clawback provisions, non-competes, confidentiality obligations, and the negotiating leverage that comes from knowing what you know about the company. Getting this wrong is expensive. Getting it right requires a lawyer who has been on both sides of those negotiations.

What Kevin brings.

Kevin served as a member of the executive leadership team of a publicly traded company. He has been in the room when executive separations were negotiated from the company side.
