My years of experience as a Boston executive employment lawyer have provided me with the opportunity to negotiate contracts on behalf of executives throughout the country. This particular example looks at some of the things I was able to achieve for the CEO of a New Jersey pharmaceutical company:Expand permission for outside boards:Negotiations included provisions to permit his participation on other boards, with the executive to retain all options and other forms of compensation.
Gain temporary housing and other key expense payments: We engaged in further negotiations for extensive expense reimbursements, including an extensive temporary housing allowance, pending a company paid relocation, at the executive’s option.
Achieved VC-style put options on equity: The provisions on equity provided for VC-style redemption features to enable the executive to put his shares to the company if the exit was not effected in the time period set out in the contract.
Full-term severance protections: The terms of the severance agreement included pay for the full length of the contract on termination without cause by the executive for good reason.
