01
Clarify objective and target group
We establish the retention purpose, eligible persons, company phase and existing ownership structure.
EXPERTISE · EMPLOYMENT & MANAGEMENT
Grant employees a stake, without leaving expectations and control open.
We structure participation models for start-ups, growing companies and executives. Ownership, economic participation, vesting, departure and governance are clearly distinguished from one another.
How can we support you?
A company wishes to retain employees over the long term
Economic participation, motivation and dilution must be properly balanced.
What we do for you
Clearly defined services.
Choice of model
We compare shares, options, virtual participation and other structures from a legal perspective.
Plan & allocation
We prepare plan terms, offers, acceptances and individual allocation documents.
Vesting & leaver
We structure time-based and performance-based conditions as well as consequences of joining and leaving.
Corporate implementation
We coordinate capital, resolutions, shareholders’ agreement and register matters.
Transaction & dispute
We review the implications of financing, sale, valuation and disputed departures.
PARTICIPATION REQUIRES SHARED EXPECTATIONS
Economic participation does not automatically mean corporate co-determination.
A good model makes transparent what value employees receive, which conditions apply and what happens upon departure or sale. We deliberately separate motivation, ownership and control.
