Executive compensation and ERISA laterals, recruited nationwide.
Benefits lawyers split between deal support and stand-alone counseling, and firms hire for each one separately.
Your benefits mix.
Lateral Lock asks how your time divides among transaction support, executive compensation, plan counseling, and ERISA litigation support, and which of those you want to grow.
- Where the mix fits.Equity-plan work inside an acquisition is a different record from stand-alone executive-compensation counseling, qualified-plan work, or ERISA litigation support. We target firms where your balance of deal work and counseling matches the group.
- Checking the group.Each firm's platform, work mix, clients, offices, and trajectory are part of our research before we recommend it.
- An accurate summary.We arrange the resume in the order a benefits group cares about: transaction support, executive compensation, plan counseling, then disputes. You approve every resume edit before the resume goes out. The cover letter leads with the mix that firm prioritizes and goes out with the submission unless you ask to see it first.
- Confidential process.You approve each introduction. We prepare the interviews with you and support the negotiation.
