Executives

For senior executives, the issues are complex and the stakes high. We are City professionals dedicated to achieving your success, and we tailor our approach to your unique requirements.

Based in the City of London, we are conveniently placed to deal with City employment disputes, and sensitive to the issues that arise. 

Contracts and remuneration

We can assist you to negotiate the terms of your service agreement or non-executive director letter of appointment.

Your salary and benefits are unlikely to be straightforward, perhaps as a result of the FSA Remuneration Code or share-based incentives. You might have access to a final salary pension.

City bonuses are notoriously opaque, with employers seeking to retain the maximum amount of discretion in deciding what to award. It is rarely that simple.

We will advise you on the terms of your remuneration package and ensure that your bonus is paid in accordance with your legal rights.

Restrictive covenants and team moves

Your employer may want to restrict who you can join and the clients and employees you are permitted to take with you when you move. We can advise you on the enforceability of non-compete clauses and on any dispute that may arise.

The legal issues on team moves are complex. As well as written contractual terms, there are terms implied into senior executive contracts that may place you and your colleagues under further restrictions. It is difficult to stay on the right side of these rules, but damaging if you do not.

We will be swift in identifying the issues and forthright in protecting your rights.
