Robin also provides ongoing advice to public and private companies, boards of directors, and compensation committees with respect to day-to-day executive compensation matters, including equity and incentive compensation plan design and implementation, and related securities, tax, and public disclosure issues. She drafts and negotiates employment agreements, bonus plans, long-term incentive plans, separation agreements, noncompetition agreements, and other compensation-related agreements and programs.
