The practice at Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer LLP has a strong reputation for handling the full remit of complex and high-value remuneration and incentives work, which includes acting on the scheme elements of major corporate transactions such as high-stakes M&A deals, and advising on the arrangement of strategic partnerships. Corporate and financial services clients form the group's client roster, which the team also advises on corporate governance issues. ‘Wonderful remuneration expert’ Paul Ellerman specialises in advising listed and private companies on share plan and corporate governance issues, while the ’exceptional’ Mark Ife has experience handling work for global banks and asset managers; the pair jointly lead the practice. Executive recruitment and termination cases form part of Kiran Khetia‘s workload. Niall Crean is also a key name to note, as is Chris White, who is well equipped to advise on cash and share-based incentive arrangements.
