Executive Employment Agreement

An Executive Employment Agreement sets forth compensation, duties, and protections for senior executives. This playbook highlights negotiation around severance, equity awards, and restrictive covenants.

Confidentiality Obligations

Why This Matters: Maintaining confidentiality is critical to protect competitive advantages and avoid inadvertent data leaks or misuse of information.

Negotiation strategy

If you're the Company:

Ensure that the confidentiality obligations are comprehensive and cover all potential disclosures. Include specific remedies for breaches to protect the company's interests.

If you're the Contractor:

Negotiate for reasonable limitations on the duration and scope of confidentiality obligations. Ensure that exclusions are clearly defined to avoid undue restrictions.

2

Action framework

Alternative scenarios & positions

High-Risk Projects

In high-risk projects, confidentiality obligations may need to be more stringent, with longer durations and more severe penalties for breaches.

Cross-Border Transactions

For cross-border transactions, ensure that confidentiality clauses comply with international data protection laws and consider jurisdictional differences.

Technology Partnerships

In technology partnerships, include specific provisions for the protection of intellectual property and proprietary technology.
