Executives in employment law covers senior employees whose contracts are specially tailored and often include bespoke terms on pay, bonuses, share schemes, restrictive covenants and post‑termination arrangements. A solicitor in this area drafts, negotiates and reviews executive contracts, negotiates bonuses, options and vesting, and advises on non‑compete, non‑solicit and restraint provisions, as well as garden leave and termination packages. It also covers disputes over dismissal, bonuses, and equal treatment where high‑level decisions or incentives are involved.
Where a solicitor protects your position
The key decisions concern whether terminations are lawful, exercise of restrictive covenants, and the timing and calculation of bonuses or severance. The solicitor helps protect the client’s position through careful drafting, ensuring enforceable terms, and advising on steps if a fiduciary breach or improper dismissal occurs; breaches can affect compensation, reputation, and future employment prospects.
