In particular, as part of drafting C-Level agreements, we include the following key provisions:

• Project Involvement – At the initial stage, we define the projects in which the managers will perform their duties. This allows the company to control the level of the manager’s involvement in the projects while maintaining confidentiality of information.
• Scope of Responsibility – We stipulate the manager’s general and specific duties within the project, as well as the level of autonomy in decision-making.
• Duration of Manager’s Involvement – The terms for commencing and termination of the manager’s cooperation with the company in the respective project (whether for a defined or undefined period).
• Remuneration – The structure of compensation is thoroughly outlined, including base salary, bonuses, overtime pay, benefits, and other perks.
• Holiday Entitlement and Sick Leave – The terms regarding holidays and sick leave are established, including the possibility of retaining payments during these periods.
• KPI (Key Performance Indicator) – We define methods for evaluating the manager’s performance, including the procedure for approving KPIs and the responsibility for their non-fulfillment.
• Reporting – We specify the manager’s obligation to report to the management on work results, financial performance, and other important aspects.
• .
• Option – We develop terms for granting top managers the opportunity to acquire a stake in the company or project, including the procedure for exercising the option.
• NDA Clause – The managers’ obligation to not disclose confidential information regarding the project, company, or management. For instance, the absence of a clear definition of confidential information in the agreement could lead to unauthorized disclosure by the project managers, resulting in significant risks.
• NCA Clause – The managers’ obligation not to cooperate with competitors of the company for a specified period of time. These provisions require clear stipulation in the contract to prevent the transfer of trade secrets, client lists, or other sensitive information to competitors.
• Intellectual Property – We define the extent of rights to intellectual property created during the manager’s duties and the obligation to transfer these rights to the company or project.
• Legal Responsibility – We establish conditions that protect the management’s rights in accordance with the laws of the project’s jurisdiction.
• Penalties – We define the conditions and amounts for penalties for violations of contract terms, which encourages managers to fulfill their obligations, as the position is critical and important for the projects and company. In the case of violations, the project and management company may incur losses.
• Termination – To regulate the relationship between project managers and management, it is essential to establish the terms and procedures for ending the collaboration. We detail the terms and procedures for termination, including resolving disputes through court or alternative methods, such as mediation.
