Executive employment contracts cover senior staff terms, including CEOs and directors, and set the specific duties, remuneration, bonus schemes, notice periods, confidentiality, garden leave and post-termination restrictions that apply to their roles. A solicitor drafts, reviews and negotiates these agreements, checks that the contract aligns with employment rights, company policy and the investor or shareholder expectations, and advises on risks around restrictive covenants and change-of-control clauses. They may also negotiate bespoke incentive arrangements and assist with any contentious termination or severance issues.
What a solicitor handles in these matters
The arrangements involve detailed terms, executive incentives, restrictive covenants, and potential post-termination restrictions that require precise drafting and regulatory awareness. A solicitor provides professional safeguards, governance-aligned language, and contract clarity to prevent disputes and protect the client’s interests during recruitment, performance management, and exits.
