Shane Tucker

Shane advises employers, executives and management teams on the tax and securities law implications of compensatory arrangements for a range of clients, with a special emphasis on private equity sponsored work and the complex tax issues associated with golden parachute payments and transfers of property for services. He also guides boards of directors and compensation committees on executive compensation matters, and assists public and private partnerships, corporations and REITs in designing, drafting and implementing severance and retention plans and equity-based compensation arrangements.
