An executive director’s service agreement in Ireland sets out the terms on which an executive director works for a company. An executive director is both an employee and an officer of the company, so a standard employment contract is not enough. This template is a service agreement covering role and duties, remuneration and bonus, notice, garden leave, confidentiality, intellectual property, post-termination restrictions and board-related terms, drafted for Irish law.

Frequently asked questions
How much does an executive director service agreement cost in Ireland?
The price of this self-complete template is shown at the top of this page. You pay once and there are no further charges from us. The price covers the template and guidance notes only — it does not include legal advice or review by a solicitor.
Why does an executive director need a service agreement?
An executive director has duties as an officer of the company as well as rights as an employee. A service agreement deals with both, including board-related terms that a standard employment contract would not cover.
Are post-termination restrictions enforceable in Ireland?
Restrictions such as non-competes can be enforceable if they are reasonable and protect a legitimate interest. Overly wide restrictions risk being unenforceable, so careful drafting matters.
