Overview
Executive compensation and benefits packages in the Financial Services sector are often complex, high-value and heavily negotiated. Recent case law developments are making some termination clauses unenforceable and disputes involving bonus entitlements, equity awards and incentive plans are on the rise amid heightened regulatory and governance expectations.
