What Are the Risks of Not Having an Executive Employment Agreement Template?

 

Hiring a senior leader without a formal executive employment agreement template can lead to:

✘ Unclear bonus, shareholding, or incentive obligations

✘ Loss of confidential company information or IP

✘ Challenges when terminating for non-performance or misconduct

 

A clear executive employment agreement removes ambiguity and protects both the company and executive employee from potential disputes.
