Compensation and Benefits

Orrick's Compensation and Benefits Group has earned a national reputation for providing innovative and comprehensive client solutions. Our approach is interdisciplinary and integrated, and addresses all of the relevant state law, tax, ERISA, corporate, SEC, and accounting issues of each assignment. To see disputes through to a successful resolution, we often coordinate teams including lawyers from Orrick's other practices to handle merger and acquisition, finance, employment, and intellectual property matters, as well as litigation, if litigation becomes necessary.

Our clients include Fortune 100 corporations, financial institutions, start-ups, tax-exempt entities, founders, and executives who are industry leaders in technology, biotechnology, communications, energy, media and entertainment, and financial services. We also advise several of the largest public sector retirement systems in the country, the nation's largest investment manager of non-mutual funds, and most major investment banks.

We work closely with state and federal regulatory agencies including the California and New York departments of corporations, the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Our special relationships with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP and several of the leading compensation and actuarial consulting firms permit us to add unique value when accounting, actuarial, valuation, or reasonable compensation issues are paramount.
