More About J. Marc

Marc works with publicly traded, private, nonprofit, and government clients in the design, implementation, and operation of domestic and international executive nonqualified and supplemental deferred compensation plans, as well as equity-based and other long-term incentive compensation arrangements. Marc regularly assists clients in drafting and negotiating executive employment, retention, change in control, and severance agreements. He advises clients on handling employee benefit matters in corporate mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, initial public offerings, and other corporate transactions. Because of his depth of experience in executive compensation matters, he is frequently retained to assist organizations in finding practical solutions or corrections for high-value potential failures to comply with tax rules.

He is co-author of the treatise “Executive Compensation for Emerging Growth Companies” (4th edition) which is updated annually and published by Thomson Reuters.  The treatise not only analyzes the corporate, tax, and securities laws for executive compensation, it also includes over forty form agreements, plans, resolutions and prospectuses for addressing an entity’s executive compensation needs from start up to its initial public offering.  The form documents in this seminal treatise are made available by Westlaw and have influenced the plan documents and agreements used by law firms for documenting equity and other executive compensation arrangements.

Marc is nationally recognized as an expert on executive compensation and is frequently asked to present on compensation and benefit issues by national and local industry associations. He has also been listed as a “Top-Rated Employee Benefits Attorney” in San Francisco by Super Lawyers (Thomson Reuters) since 2019.
