A Practical Webinar: Revising the Compensation Policy
We are holding a practical and focused webinar with GCs for GCs, led by Adv. Hagit Ross and Adv. Omri Oren, partners in the firm's Capital Markets Department. The session will provide clear guidelines for building an effective compensation policy, including best practices for structure, mandatory components, and key considerations from regulatory, legal, and market perspectives that should inform the decision-making process. We will also take a close look at the special grant: when it is appropriate to include one, the rationale and circumstances for doing so, and how to best integrate it into the overall compensation framework, with a particular focus on the Israel Securities Authority’s current position and applicable legal requirements.
