Structuring remuneration so that performance, expectations and entitlements are aligned.

We advise companies and executives on bonuses, commission, target agreements and long-term incentives. Conditions, discretion, departure and documentation are clearly regulated.

How can we support you?

A new bonus model is to be introduced

Targets, calculation, discretion and maturity must be comprehensible.

What we do for you

Clearly defined services.

Bonus models

We structure variable remuneration with clear conditions and decision-making processes.

Commission systems

We define transaction closing, causality, cancellations, maturity and settlement.

Target agreements

We create transparent processes for setting, adjusting and evaluating targets.

Long-term incentives

We advise on multi-year incentives, vesting, clawback and departure.

Disputes & entitlement review

We review the contractual basis, established company practice, calculation and evidence.

INCENTIVES REQUIRE RELIABILITY

A remuneration model only motivates if its rules are understood.

Unclear terms such as voluntary, discretionary or target-dependent rarely create the desired flexibility. We structure models that preserve entrepreneurial discretion and manage expectations fairly.
