Employment & Compliance

ESOPs and incentive plans, hiring and B2B, NIS2 compliance, pay transparency, the AI Act and GDPR in a technology product.

The client’s problem

„New obligations are coming in — NIS2, pay transparency, the AI Act — and I don’t know whether or how they apply to us.”

Regulation for technology companies has accelerated. NIS2, the pay-transparency directive, the AI Act — each can touch your company, though none was written with it specifically in mind.

We start with the most important question: whether it applies to you at all. If it does — we map the obligations and implement them proportionally to your scale, without over-engineering and without paralysis.

On top of that comes the everyday: hiring, B2B contracts, ESOPs, GDPR in the product. We do it so that compliance is a tool, not a brake.
