I am honored and humbled to continue the column on executive compensation and corporate governance that Joseph E. Bachelder III wrote for the New York Law Journal for over 30 years. Joe was my esteemed colleague and dear friend at McCarter & English for more than eight years. His keen analytic mind, encyclopedic knowledge, attention to detail, concise writing skills, dogged work ethic and relentless pursuit of excellence greatly influenced me and all that knew him. He was a wonderful teacher and mentor who was always generous with his time. Joe Bachelder is and will always be sorely missed.
