Practice 06·Keep your best people

ESOP, phantom equity and reward advisory

Your best people are being hired away, and a flat cash bonus is not keeping them.

A team celebrating a shared win in the office

Nuvira Global helps founders and leadership teams design ESOPs, phantom equity plans, bonuses and long-term incentives. Support can include founder-equity and cap-table advice and IFRS 2 accounting. Legal documentation and tax opinions, where needed, should be coordinated with appropriately licensed specialists.
