Practical EIP Insights: What Founders, GCs & CFOs Need to Know
The new Equity Incentive Plan (EIP) rules have fundamentally changed how startups and scale-ups can reward and retain talent in Germany.
Equity is now more attractive than ever, but also significantly more complex. Poorly structured EIPs can create tax risks, employee confusion, and long-term legal and structural issues. Getting it right is no longer optional.
To help founders and in-house teams navigate these changes, GAIA is hosting a practical webinar together with PXR, a leading law firm advising startups and scale-ups on equity and incentive structures.
This session is designed to cut through the complexity and explain what actually matters in practice, without legal jargon.
What you’ll learn
The essentials of the German EIP reform, explained in plain language
What has changed and what has not for startups and scale-ups
Common pitfalls and mistakes we see in real-world EIP implementations
Legal and tax frameworks that work in practice, not just on paper
Who should attend
Founders and management teams
General Counsel and in-house legal teams
CFOs, Finance, and HR leaders involved in equity planning
If you are already running an EIP or planning to introduce one in the near future, this session will give you the clarity you need to make informed decisions.
