Winstead’s employment contracts and executive compensation practice draws on the skills of the firm’s tax, labor and employment and benefits attorneys to assist clients with regard to executive employment, compensation and tax planning strategies.

Our attorneys integrate business needs and legal requirements to craft employment contracts, current and deferred compensation agreements, fringe benefits, restricted stock and stock units, incentive and non-qualified stock options and other equity-based awards. We review and draft employment agreements of all types and, when necessary, represent clients in litigation regarding alleged breaches of oral and written contracts of employment.
