Representation of Management Team Interests in Rollover Transactions

McLane Middleton recognizes that in a transaction involving a portfolio company the company’s management team has a unique, but critical, role in the transaction.  McLane Middleton’s lawyers have represented many management teams through the initial transaction process and the subsequent follow-on transactions.  We understand the dynamics and pace involved in these transactions and have the resources and experience needed to assist management teams in specific areas of interest relating to these types of transactions, including:

• Negotiating new executive employment agreements
• Designing/reviewing equity incentive plans (e.g., profits interest plans) and phantom equity plans
• Governance rights and related special incentive deals
• Management’s equity rollover to new company

Our team combines the experience of its corporate, employment, tax, and employee benefits attorneys to develop winning strategies to make sure an agreement is reached with the management team’s best interests in mind.
