Fred Whittlesey, Founder and Principal Consultant of Compensation Venture Group, SPC, has been providing expert witness and litigation support services for over 35 years.  His globally-recognized expertise in executive compensation, incentive compensation, equity compensation, and employment agreements has provided valuable support in a variety of legal cases.  The highly technical and complex nature of executive and equity compensation has created the need for coaching and educating legal counsel and adjudicators on technical points and helping identify key issues in cases.

Fred has issued opinions on reasonableness of compensation, loss of earnings, federal and state tax challenges, change-in-control provisions (golden parachutes), interpretation of employment and compensation agreements, and opposing experts’ methodologies.  He has supported both defendants and plaintiffs, and clients have included corporate entities, classes, individual executives, and law firms.
