Senior Executive Moves During the Covid Pandemic
Senior Executive Moves during the Covid Pandemic
Check out this podcast by experts from leading international employment law alliance Innangard Executives, hosted by Claire Dawson of CC Solicitors, Co-Chair of Innangard Executives.
The pandemic has given rise to opportunities and challenges, prompting some senior executive moves. This discussion takes a look at the trends across the different jurisdictions.
The key questions addressed by the panel include:
1 What has been happening in each jurisdiction when it comes to senior executive moves during COVID? What are the push and pull factors?
2 What is the impact on deferred remuneration on departure? What trends are you seeing in the negotiations? What sort of deals are being struck on departures and how may this differ from pre-COVID times?
3 Another key issue for departing executives is their post-termination restrictions/non-competes. How are these being handled and has the pandemic made a difference?
4 How are the departures playing out in practice? Are parties more willing to litigate in a difficult market?
The discussion is hosted by Claire Dawson (CC Solicitors, Ireland and Co-Chair of Innangard Executives) with contributions from Merrill April (CM Murray, UK), Carl-Fredrik (Morris Law, Sweden) and Anna Cozzi (Daverio & Florio, Italy).

Senior Executives and COVID-19 – A Cross-Border Perspective
We are delighted to bring you this recording of an expert discussion between members of leading international employment law alliance Innangard Executives, exploring and offering insight into key questions and concerns of senior executives in the current climate in Ireland, the UK, France and Spain.
The risks, entitlements, and obligations of senior executives during the COVID-19 pandemic can vary greatly across jurisdictions depending on national employment law legislation, contractual provisions and socio-economic agenda. This discussion takes a close look at some of the more common issues being faced by senior executives and examines the protections and remedies potentially available to them.
The discussion is hosted by Claire Dawson (Ireland) with contributions from Merrill April (UK), Mathilde Houet-Weil (France) and María José Sánchez (Spain).
The key questions addressed by the panel include:
1. What are the issues impacting senior executives in terms of wellbeing? What obligations do their employers have to them and what should they be asking their employers to do to support them? How far does their employer’s duty of care extend?
2. What has been the approach of employers in different jurisdictions to changes to senior executives’ terms and conditions? Can an employer impose a unilateral change?
3. How are the senior executive’s options shaped by the industry they are working in? Is their leverage for negotiation reduced if they are employed in a public company or a regulated field?
4. What protections exist for senior executives who face job insecurity, redundancy or dismissal in the current climate? Are senior executives entitled to reduced compensation by virtue of their senior status in Ireland, the UK, France and Spain? Are employers restrained from taking certain actions against senior executives during the COVID-19 pandemic?
5. How has the COVID-19 pandemic impacted upon senior executives in terms of equality and discrimination? What selection criteria can employers in Ireland, the UK, France and Spain lawfully implement when proposing redundancy? Will issues such as gender pay gap reporting and opportunities for ethnic minorities regress or continue to progress in the current climate?
6. What rights do employees in Ireland, the UK, France and Spain have with respect to requesting, and being permitted, to work from home? Has the pendulum swung too far with respect to working from home and is there a need to find a balance?
