Kramer Levin Boosts Executive Compensation and Employee Benefits Capabilities with Addition of Marissa Holob

Kramer Levin is pleased to announce that Marissa Holob, a highly-regarded executive compensation and employee benefits lawyer, is joining the firm as Partner and  Co-Chair of the firm’s Employee Benefits Department.

Marissa brings a depth of experience in the area of compensation and benefits. Her practice ranges from advising on compensation and benefits-related issues in mergers and acquisitions and financial restructurings to advising on the design, administration and compliance of qualified retirement plans, incentive plans and other employee compensation arrangements to counseling  on the application of ERISA's "plan asset" rules.

“I am very pleased to welcome Marissa to the firm,” said Kramer Levin Managing Partner Paul S. Pearlman. “With our high-volume M&A and private equity practice and regular involvement in many of the largest U.S. bankruptcies, we experience a steady demand for compensation and benefits advice.
