Wachtell Lipton’s “Compensation Committee Guide”

Here’s the latest 137-page guide for compensation committees from Wachtell Lipton, and it even includes a sample compensation committee charter at the back. In the sample charter, they note that it’s not unusual for human capital management to be slotted under either the compensation committee or the Nom/Gov committee – and offer up some sample charter language on HCM oversight.  As noted in the guide’s introduction, compensation committees will need to proactively manage compensation & human capital needs this year, and be prepared to act quickly to retain key contributors.
