Employees' incentives, remuneration & benefits

The recruitment and compensation packages of high-level employees require legal assistance from conception to implementation and enforcement, and often include stock option plans, long-term incentive plans and a wide range of bonuses or other temporary or permanent financial arrangements.

We work in tandem with our clients to develop the overall compensation packages and related benefits and equity plans, for both executives and other employees, in order to align such plans with the company strategy and the applicable regulatory framework.

We have extensive expertise in protecting the key assets and specific business interests of our clients through post-employment restrictive covenants.
