J. Richard & Co. was established in 1984 to provide highly specialized advisory services to varied corporations regarding Board and executive compensation matters. Our services range from new position total compensation package advice for individual executives to major research studies and pay and equity program design assistance for corporations.

Our Client relationships tend to be long-term-focused with assignments geared toward Compensation Committee Agendas and review. We are retained on both a fixed-fee as well as an ad hoc hourly basis.
