Global law firm Clifford Chance hired counsel Meghan Fox to join its U.S. executive compensation team, further strengthening the firm’s tax, pensions and employment (TPE) group.
Fox has more than 15 years of experience advising a wide variety of clients in transactional matters, including private and publicly held companies, with respect to the executive compensation and employee benefits issues arising in mergers and acquisitions, spinoffs, initial public offerings, restructurings, divestitures and other corporate transactions.
She regularly advises clients on the design, implementation and administration of equity and cash-based incentive plans, the negotiation of employment, separation and incentive agreements and the applicable tax, securities law, corporate governance and disclosure implications of those arrangements.
“We’re excited to welcome Meghan to the team during a time of transformative growth in our region,” Paul Seraganian, regional practice area leader for TPE at Clifford Chance, said. “Her comprehensive knowledge and thoughtful approach to employee benefits and executive compensation—particularly in complex transactions like mergers, IPOs and restructurings—will bring exceptional value to our clients. She brings strategic insight to help both public and private companies navigate today’s evolving landscape.”
“I’ve had the pleasure of working closely with Meghan for many years and am thrilled she’s joining Clifford Chance,” Reuven Falik, co-chair of Clifford Chance’s U.S. executive compensation Group, said. “She brings a deep understanding of executive compensation to every transaction, from structuring equity and cash-based incentives to advising on the regulatory and governance considerations that come with them. Her insight and judgment in this space will be a tremendous asset to our clients.”
“I look forward to joining Clifford Chance and being part of a firm that leads with both a global perspective and a strong commitment to its clients,” Fox said. “The TPE team plays a critical role in supporting the executive compensation aspects of complex transactions, and I look forward to collaborating with this talented team to help clients through these high-impact moments with clarity and confidence.”
