The Managing Director Contract Of Employment is a specialized agreement used in the Netherlands for appointing senior executives who will serve as statutory directors (statutair directeur) of Dutch companies. This document is essential when appointing managing directors who hold both corporate and employment responsibilities under Dutch law. It's particularly important as it must comply with both Dutch corporate law requirements (including the Dutch Civil Code Book 2) and employment legislation, addressing the unique dual status of managing directors in the Netherlands. The contract typically comes into play during new appointments, corporate restructuring, or when updating terms for existing directors to ensure compliance with current legislation. It must balance corporate governance requirements, shareholder interests, and employee protections while including specific provisions for remuneration, duties, and termination conditions.
