Dave Gordon’s practice as an executive compensation consultant stretches back over a decade. He has covered a variety of industries, including extensive experience with financial institutions and utilities. In addition to engagements for his own clients, based on his years of experience as an executive compensation lawyer, he acts as the senior resource on numerous technical issues for the Firm. He frequently acts as an expert witness, where his prior background as a lawyer litigating executive compensation cases gives him a unique perspective when called upon to perform services as an executive compensation expert witness.

Previously, he worked for many years as a tax lawyer and executive compensation expert at the O’Melveny & Myers law firm, where he was a senior partner, chaired the Tax Department, and headed the benefits/executive compensation practice. His practice encompassed all aspects of executive compensation, both from an employer and executive side, including litigation. He co-founded the leading newsletter on employee benefits/executive compensation litigation ("The ERISA Litigation Reporter"), which is now in its third decade of publication. He has previously been the President of the American College of Employee Benefits Counsel and a Vice-Chair of the ABA Tax Section’s Committee on Employee Benefits.
