Company directors and the terms under which they are hired are today under scrutiny to an extent greater than ever before, and even the most diligent of businesses can find themselves on the wrong end of embarrassing publicity about their executives’ arrangements.

This half-day course looks at the very latest thinking on how best to design contracts for senior executives, and considers everything from the main provisions which should be included, to what should be done throughout the course of that executive’s employment, and through to when the employment terminates. Specific issues examined include the fundamental requirements under employment and company law; executive recruitment and induction; governance and listing obligations; remuneration, performance and risk management; and termination and removal.

This course takes a very practical and considered approach to what is an issue of immense complexity and sensitivity for company boards and their advisers.
