Latham & Watkins
In April 2021, Michelle Carpenter was elected to Latham’s Executive Committee, a nine partner group that oversees the global management of one of the largest law firms in the world. This achievement recognized Carpenter’s consistently outstanding performance — in leadership and mentorship roles, her client work, and community and pro bono service — which has earned her universal respect among Latham’s partnership.
In her executive compensation, employment & benefits practice, Carpenter advises clients on a broad range of compensation arrangements and benefit plans across a variety of industries, with extensive experience working with public and private companies. She frequently advises on executive compensation and employee benefits matters for high-profile clients in their most complex transactions, such as mergers and acquisitions, financings, IPOs, and spin-off.
