At Ayuela Jiménez, we have a team of expert lawyers specialising in the drafting, negotiation, and management of executive contracts, including protective clauses for enhanced security. We focus on designing tailored agreements that accurately reflect rights, obligations, and employment conditions, always in compliance with current regulations.

Protective clauses in executive contracts

Protective clauses in executive contracts, also known as golden parachutes, are contractual provisions designed to safeguard both companies and senior executives in unforeseen circumstances that may arise during the employment relationship, such as changes in corporate structure, dismissals, or workforce reductions. These clauses may include compensation packages, exit bonuses, or special dismissal conditions, which must be subject to taxation and social security contributions.

By implementing these clauses in executive contracts, succession planning is facilitated, and talent retention is ensured, ultimately contributing to the stability and continuity of business operations.
