Employment agreements, and incentives for performance and retention

Episode 2 of Withers talks: families and family office series

In this podcast, we look at employment agreements and incentives for performance and retention. Our host and head of the family office practice, Ivan Sacks, talks to David Guin, head of Withers’ corporate practice in the US who often acts as outside corporate counsel to family offices, about structuring compensation of staff in a family office. David provides an overview and guidance on employment compensation incentives for performance and retention. In less than ten minutes, David’s insights cover a wide range of issues from the strategy behind incentive compensation to exploring the different tools and varieties of incentive-based compensation, from bonuses to “phantom” equity programs.
