This highly practical and comprehensive handbook offers focused guidance for practitioners involved in the drafting of service and consultancy agreements for senior employees.One-off agreements are often negotiated for key employees and company directors, sometimes as part of a commercial package, for example on a company acquisition. Not infrequently they give rise to contract-based litigation - the sort of costly litigation that can suddenly erupt following a boardroom crisis.

This accessible reference work is the only book to concentrate exclusively on senior employees and offers up-to-date precedents for consultancies, contracts for services and employee secondments. A free disk of precedents is included and is specifically designed for ease of use with search-and-replace software.
