Spear's Review
The nature of remuneration is changing, with big PLCs drafting agreements that are ‘ever more complex and conditional’, says Farrer employment head David Smellie. It’s driving senior executives away from big establishments, he adds.
‘If anything, the trend is for my clients to leave the big PLC, bank, PE house and set up with others in a more entrepreneurial environment – frequently with great success.’ He advises top executives from FTSE 100 and private equity firms on all employment issues, ranging from entry, exit and remuneration to governance and regulation. His recent highlight has been a $50 million deal around the move of a senior executive from private equity to new business.
