Executive Compensation

Executive Compensation

Our Executive Compensation practice combines technical precision, deep regulatory knowledge, and sensitivity to market dynamics to support companies, boards, and executives in structuring, negotiating, and implementing compensation strategies that attract and retain talent, aligned with business objectives and shareholder interests.

We operate in all phases of the compensation cycle, from design and negotiation to implementation and alignment in exit scenarios, with a special focus on legal compliance, tax efficiency, governance, and incentive alignment.

Our focus is to balance competitiveness and compliance, helping our clients structure compensation models that drive performance with legal security.

Our Services

1. Compensation Structuring and Planning
   We support the creation of executive compensation packages aligned with market practices and tailored to each client's strategies. This includes fixed and variable compensation, long-term incentive plans (LTIPs), equity-based compensation (such as stock options and RSUs), bonuses, and retention mechanisms. We consider the tax, labor, corporate, and regulatory impacts at every stage.
   
   

2. Regulatory Compliance and Governance
   We guide companies through the complex regulatory environment surrounding executive compensation, including adherence to corporate and capital market laws, disclosure obligations, and good governance practices. We provide support to boards and compensation committees in their decision-making processes.
   
   

3. Executive Contract Negotiation
   We draft and negotiate employment contracts, compensation agreements, and incentive plans, as well as severance arrangements and change of control clauses. Our approach ensures clarity, legal security, and alignment with the company’s strategic objectives, mitigating risks related to litigation, severance, and reputational impacts.
   
   

4. Compensation in M&A Transactions and Exit Scenarios
   We advise on the analysis and treatment of compensation mechanisms and incentives in merger, acquisition, and private equity investment operations. Our work includes reviewing retention plans, vesting acceleration clauses, and “golden parachutes,” ensuring alignment between the transaction strategy and the interests of key executives.
