Equity, Incentive, & Deferred Compensation

Motivating employees to excel.

Husch Blackwell takes a disciplined approach to designing and implementing successful employee incentive plans. As a first step, our team helps clients identify their compensation goals, which may include recruitment, retention, tax treatment, or securing employee commitment to noncompetition.

We advise companies on which employees to target, the best way to motivate the desired behavior and any constraints based on the company’s situation. Our experienced team also suggests strategies for the timing of payments, the form of payments, the valuation method (if based on equity), and the vesting schedule.
