Compensation Plans / Long-term Incentive Plans
About
We advise global companies based in Japan on the development and implementation of compensation plans, including long-term incentive plans, in close collaboration with our Capital Markets and Tax & Transfer Pricing practice groups and lawyers with local expertise at Baker McKenzie’s other offices. We provide a full range of support, offering practical advice on employment-related issues, resolution procedures under the Companies Act in connection with compensation, stock options, and the issuance of stocks, disclosure requirements related to securities offerings in Japan and overseas, and tax issues.
