For our clients, we:

• Provide advice on hiring board members and senior executives.
• Develop optimal employment models considering tax and social security implications.
• Negotiate terms and prepare the employment structure and documentation (employment contracts, management contracts, civil agreements, confidentiality and non-compete agreements).
• Prepare the corporate documentation necessary for commencing cooperation with board members and represent clients in registry proceedings before the National Court Register.
• Create and evaluate short- and long-term bonus programmes for executives (e.g. stock options, phantom shares, etc.).
• Advise on hiring executives in companies with State Treasury participation, ensuring compliance with the “new anti-corruption law” and preparing the necessary documentation (resolutions, contracts).
• Support clients during the termination of contracts with executives.
• Handle court and arbitration disputes with former executives.
