Contracts: drafting and review

Employment and equity

Hiring, secondment and equity across jurisdictions.

Hiring across borders, moving people between group companies, and giving them equity. The products are written for groups whose people work in more than one country over time, including participants in Magellan Global's Global Successor Residency Program.

Real employment

Contracts describe real roles, supervision and deliverables; immigration authorities test substance and so does the review.

Secondment and intra-group transfer

Secondment agreements that keep the employer relationship clear, with the jurisdiction's rules on dispatch and supervision (Japan's rules on disguised contracting are checked explicitly).

Equity

Plans and grants with the tax clauses each jurisdiction needs; GoGoTrust then administers the grants and the cross-border events.
