Strategic and ongoing counsel for senior executives and managers on their contractual matters, internal mobility, and the preparation of a high-value exit.
Long-term strategic counsel for executives
Taking on a new role, renegotiating an existing package, anticipating a medium-term exit, or securing an internal or international move: executives face a series of decisions whose impact accumulates over the course of their careers.
The firm advises senior executives and managers over the long term, beyond the handling of isolated situations. This ongoing relationship makes it possible to build a coherent strategy, save time on each new issue, and anticipate challenges rather than react to them.
A long-term relationship
Executive counsel rests on a thorough understanding of your career path, your compensation, and your professional environment. The firm acts on a regular or ad hoc basis according to your needs, without undue formality, and with genuine availability at key moments.
This quality-driven approach, preferred to purely transactional engagements, makes it possible to build a multi-year partnership and to act with far greater efficiency when important decisions arise.
What our support covers
- Annual review of your contractual situation and risk exposure
- Negotiation and drafting of new employment contracts or corporate offices
- Support for internal moves, changes in scope, or international assignments
- Analysis of the company's strategic decisions and their impact on your position
- Preparation of a medium-term exit strategy (12 to 36 months)
- Ad hoc advice on sensitive situations (being sidelined, reorganization, arrival of a new executive)
Preparing your exit well in advance
The best exits are prepared exits. An executive who plans their departure 12 to 24 months ahead has levers that disappear as soon as negotiations open under pressure: gradual vesting of shares, achievement of bonus-triggering objectives, positioning vis-à-vis the board, and documentation of performance.
The firm helps structure this anticipation phase so that the final negotiation takes place under the most favorable conditions.
A business approach, not just a legal one
An executive never makes a decision on the basis of legal analysis alone. Considerations of reputation, network, timing, new career opportunities, and personal taxation carry as much weight as the applicable law.
The firm strives to integrate these dimensions into every recommendation and to work in coordination with the executive's other regular advisors (family office, wealth manager, tax advisor, coach).
A partnership, not a service
This long-term approach is reflected in a suitable billing model (retainer or annual fixed fee), enhanced availability at key moments, and a familiarity with your file that avoids starting from scratch with each request. The goal is simple: to make the law an asset in your career, not a constraint to be managed in a crisis.
