In this article – “Executive compensation challenges, both new and old” we review some of the most important executive compensation issues of the year, including growing calls to tie executive compensation to the achievement of ESG goals, “say on pay” votes during the pandemic, compensation clawbacks, and an important court decision for employers. 

This article is authored by Andrew MacDougall, a partner in the Corporate team at Osler, Lynne Lacoursière, Co-Chair of the Executive Compensation practice, and Kelly O’Ferrall, Counsel with the Employment and Labour team at Osler.
