9 clauses in a senior executive contract with severance protection in 2026<\/h1>\n

It must organise a relationship based on trust, autonomy and responsibility, where the executive may have access to strategic information, decision-making powers, clients, teams, bonuses, post-contractual covenants and reputational risk.<\/p>\n
