Corporate Practice – Human Resource

(a) Employee Benefits, Compensation and Stock Option Plans
Lon & n counsels advise corporate and individual clients on employee contracts and benefits, executive compensation and stock option plans. Within the context of the larger corporate practice, we advise on corporate, tax and fiduciary issues resulting from mergers, acquisitions, spin-offs, initial public offerings and other significant corporate events. We regularly advise clients on issues arising out of ESOPs and performance pegged compensation packages.

(b) Labor, employment regulations and rightsizing
Lon & n routinely advises its clients on the entire spectrum of labor and employment matters. We draft employment, consultant and severance agreements, offer general corporate advice on the entire gamut of labor issues, compliance issues, structure compensation plans and represent our clients in litigation. We have defended actions in which independent contractors have claimed ‘workman’ status, enforced restrictive clauses in employment contracts, defended employees in actions seeking the enforcement of restrictive clauses, enforced and defended actions to recover confidential information, enforced and defended ‘no poach’ and non compete agreements and defended clients in litigation spinning off rightsizing exercises.

We regularly undertake company wide compliance reviews and provide certifications where required.

We have extensive experience of, and have spearheaded, both the formulation and the implementation of, downsizing programs with comprehensive downstream litigation support.
