 Exhibit 10.7 

AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 

THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT is entered into effective as of July 23, 2021 (this “Agreement”), by and
between WCG Clinical, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and Nicholas C. Slack, an individual (“Employee”). 

WHEREAS, Employee entered into an Employment Agreement with an affiliate of the Company dated as of January 1, 2016 (the
“Original Agreement”); and 
 WHEREAS, Employee and the Company desire to amend and restate the Original Agreement in its
entirety pursuant to the terms of this Agreement to set forth the terms and conditions of Employee’s continued employment with the Company. 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the respective representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained
herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows: 

1. Employment. 
 (a) The
Company or one of its affiliates hereby agrees to employ Employee, and Employee hereby accepts such employment, as the President and Chief Commercial Officer for the Company, with such duties and responsibilities as shall be set forth by the Chief
Executive Officer of the Company (the “CEO”) or the Board of Directors of the Company, or any designee(s) thereof (collectively, the “Board”). To the extent necessary to meet the Company’s business goals, the
CEO or the Board may modify Employee’s duties or assign new duties to Employee or modify Employee’s reporting relationships. Employee shall devote all of his business time, attention, and efforts to the performance of Employee’s
duties hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Employee may provide services as a volunteer or director to charitable, educational or civic organizations; act as a member, director or officer of any industry trade association or group; and serve
as a trustee, director or advisor to any family companies or trusts; provided that, in all cases, such services or acts shall not, in the reasonable judgment of the CEO or Board, interfere or be likely to interfere with Employee’s ability to
discharge Employee’s duties and responsibilities to the Company. Employee shall faithfully adhere to, execute, and fulfill all lawful policies established by the Company. 

(b) As consideration for the services performed by Employee, the Company shall pay Employee a base salary, at the annual rate of $450,000
(“Base Salary”), payable in installments at such times as the Company customarily pays its other executives (but in any event no less often than monthly). In addition to his Base Salary, Employee shall be eligible to receive an
annual incentive bonus in an amount up to fifty percent (50%) of Employee’s Base Salary (the “Incentive Bonus”) in the sole discretion of the Board. The applicable criteria for achieving an Incentive Bonus shall be established
by the Board, in its or their sole discretion. So long as Employee remains employed by the Company, the Company will provide benefits to Employee no less favorable than those benefits made available generally to similarly situated employees of the
Company. The Company may withhold from any amounts payable under this Agreement such federal, state, and local taxes as may be required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation. The Company agrees that Employee’s Base Salary
and performance will be reviewed at least annually by the Board to determine if an increase in compensation is appropriate, which increase shall be in the sole discretion of the Board. 

(c) Employee shall be entitled to paid time off annually in accordance with Company policies. 

  
 1 













 (d) The Company or one of its affiliates agrees to reimburse Employee for all reasonable
business travel and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Employee in the discharge of Employee’s duties hereunder, subject to the Company’s reimbursement
policies in effect from time to time. In addition, the Company will reimburse Employee for dues necessary for him to renew and maintain membership in industry associations or organizations and to subscribe to industry publications, in each case
subject to the prior written approval of the Company or the Board, in its or their sole discretion. All reimbursable expenses shall be appropriately documented in reasonable detail by Employee upon submission of any request for reimbursement, and in
a format and manner consistent with the Company’s expense reporting policy, as may be in effect from time to time, as well as applicable federal and state record keeping requirements. 

2. Termination. 
 (a)
Employee’s employment with the Company is at-will, and Employee’s employment with the Company can be terminated by the Company for any reason, with or without cause. The foregoing notwithstanding, in
consideration of the benefits conferred in this Section 2, Employee agrees to provide the Company with thirty (30) days’ written notice in advance of Employee’s voluntary resignation, including the identity of Employee’s
prospective new employer, if any. 
 (b) Upon termination of this Agreement for any reason, Employee (or Employee’s estate or personal
representative, as applicable) shall be entitled to receive (i) all of Employee’s accrued but unpaid Base Salary through the effective date of termination, whereafter no further Base Salary shall accrue, and (ii) reimbursement of any
proper expenses in accordance with Section 1(d). 
 (c) In the event that the Company terminates Employee’s
employment without Cause (as defined below) or Employee resigns for Good Reason (as defined below), Employee shall be entitled to receive the Severance Payment (as defined below); provided, however, that Employee’s receipt of the Severance
Payment is expressly conditioned on Employee’s execution and non-revocation of a general release and waiver of any and all claims against the Company arising out of his employment or termination thereof
in form and substance specified by and acceptable to the Company (the “Separation Release”). The Salary Portion (as defined below) of the Severance Payment will be paid to Employee as follows: a first payment, which will cover the
first two months of Employee’s severance, will be paid to Employee in a lump sum cash payment on the sixtieth (60th) day following Employee’s separation date, provided that Employee has executed, submitted to the Company, and not revoked
the Separation Release and the revocation period for the Separation Release has expired, and the remaining amount of the Salary Portion of the Severance Payment will be paid to Employee in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices
following such sixtieth (60th) day for the remainder of the period in which the Severance Payment is payable. “Severance Payment” means twelve (12) months of Employee’s Base Salary at the rate in effect as of
Employee’s separation date (the “Salary Portion”) and continued coverage by the Company of Employee, his spouse and eligible dependents on its medical plan, to the extent covered under such plan immediately prior to
Employee’s termination date, for twelve (12) months, at the same premium rates that are charged to current employees receiving the same coverage; provided that (i) such continuation coverage shall cease to apply if Employee does not
pay the applicable monthly premium or if Employee is eligible to receive other coverage from his new employer or pursuant to his spouse’s plan, (ii) the COBRA continuation period shall run currently with the severance period, so that, for
such continuation coverage benefit to apply, Employee must elect COBRA continuation coverage at the time of his termination of employment, and (iii) in the event that the Company determines in its discretion that it is not practicable or
possible to continue to provide such medical or dental benefits, the Company shall pay Employee for the cost of replacing such benefits on an after-tax basis. 

  
 2 













 (d) “Cause” shall mean (i) conviction of Employee of any felony, or
the conviction of Employee of a misdemeanor which involves moral turpitude, or the entry by Employee of a plea of guilty or nolo contendere with respect to any of the foregoing, (ii) the commission of any act or failure to act by
Employee that involves moral turpitude, dishonesty, theft, destruction of property, fraud, embezzlement or unethical business conduct, or that otherwise causes material injury to the Company or any of its affiliates, whether financially or
otherwise, (iii) any breach by Employee of any rule or policy of the Company or any of its affiliates, and the failure of Employee to cure such violation (to the extent such violation is capable of being cured) under this clause
(iii) within twenty (20) days after receipt of written notice from the Company, (iv) any breach by Employee of the requirements of any other contract or agreement between the Company (or any of its affiliates) and such Employee,
including this Agreement, and the failure of Employee to cure such breach (to the extent such breach is capable of being cured) under this clause, or (v) within ten (10) days after receipt of written notice from the Company, in each case,
with respect to clauses (i) through (iv), as determined in good faith by the Board in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment. Additionally, and solely for these purposes, Employee’s dismissal by Company on account of death or
disability will not be deemed a dismissal without Cause. 
 (e) Employee shall have the right to terminate his employment for Good Reason.
For purpose of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall be limited to the following (unless Employee and the Company shall execute a written agreement specifically stating that the occurrence of such event shall not constitute “Good
Reason” under this Agreement): (i) a material reduction in Employee’s base salary, other than as part of a reduction plan affecting all of the Company’s leadership team that is instituted as a result of economic circumstances;
(ii) a material breach by the Company of this Agreement, or (iii) a material diminution in the duties and authority of Employee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a termination by Employee for Good Reason shall exist only if Employee provides
written notice to the Company specifying in reasonable detail the events or conditions that give Good Reason and Employee provides such notice to the Company within ninety (90) days after such events or conditions first arise. Within thirty
(30) days after notice has been received, the Company shall have the opportunity, but shall not have the obligation, to cure such events or conditions that give Good Reason. If the Company does not cure such events or conditions within the
thirty (30) day period, Employee must voluntarily terminate his employment within thirty (30) days of the expiration of the cure period. 

(f) In the event of the death of Employee during the term of Employee’s employment with the Company, this Agreement shall automatically
terminate, and the Company shall have no further obligations hereunder except as provided in Section 2(e). 
 (g)
Upon termination of this Agreement for any reason, Employee (or Employee’s estate or personal representative, as applicable) shall be entitled to receive (i) all of Employee’s accrued but unpaid Base Salary through the effective date
of termination, whereafter no further Base Salary shall accrue, and (ii) reimbursement of any proper expenses in accordance with Section 1(d). 

3. Withholding Taxes. The Company may withhold from any amounts payable under this Agreement such federal, state and local taxes as may
be required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation. Employee shall bear all expense of, and shall be solely responsible for, any and all taxes associated with the compensation and benefits provided under this Agreement. 

4. Section 409A of the Code. 

(a) General. Notwithstanding the other provisions hereof, this Agreement is intended to comply with the requirements of
Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Section 409A”), to the extent applicable, and shall be interpreted to avoid any penalty sanctions under Section 409A. Accordingly, all
provisions herein, or incorporated by reference, shall be construed and interpreted 

  
 3 













 
to comply with Section 409A and, if necessary, any such provision shall be deemed amended to comply with Section 409A and regulations thereunder. If any payment or benefit cannot be
provided or made at the time specified herein without incurring sanctions under Section 409A, then such benefit or payment shall be provided in full at the earliest time thereafter when such sanctions will not be imposed. All payments to be
made upon a termination of employment under this Agreement that are deferred compensation may only be made upon a “separation from service” under Section 409A. For purposes of Section 409A, each payment made under this Agreement
shall be treated as a separate payment. In no event may Employee, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year of payment. 
 (b)
Payment Delay. To the maximum extent permitted under Section 409A, the severance benefits payable under this Agreement are intended to comply with the “short-term deferral exception” under Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(b)(4), and
any remaining amount is intended to comply with the “separation pay exception” under Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii); provided, however, any amount payable to Employee during the six (6) month period following Employee’s
last day of employment with the Company that does not qualify within this exception and constitutes deferred compensation subject to the requirements of Section 409A shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Excess Amount.” If at the
time of Employee’s separation from service, the Company’s (or any entity required to be aggregated with the Company under Section 409A) stock is publicly-traded on an established securities market or otherwise and Employee is a
“specified employee” (as defined in Section 409A and determined in the sole discretion of the Company (or any successor thereto) in accordance with the Company’s (or any successor thereto) “specified employee”
determination policy), then the Company shall postpone the commencement of the payment of the portion of the Excess Amount that is payable within the six (6) month period following Employee’s last day of employment with the Company (or any
successor thereto) for six (6) months following Employee’s last day of employment with the Company (or any successor thereto). The delayed Excess Amount shall be paid in a lump sum to Employee within thirty (30) days following the
date that is six (6) months following Employee’s last day of employment with the Company (or any successor thereto) and any amounts payable after such six (6) month period shall be paid in accordance with its original schedule. If
Employee dies during such six (6) month period and prior to the payment of the portion of the Excess Amount that is required to be delayed on account of Section 409A, such Excess Amount shall be paid to the personal representative of
Employee’s estate within sixty (60) days after Employee’s death. 
 (c) Reimbursements. All reimbursements provided
under this Agreement shall be made or provided in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A, including, where applicable, the requirement that (i) any reimbursement is for expenses incurred during Employee’s lifetime (or during
a shorter period of time specified in this Agreement), (ii) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement during a calendar year may not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other calendar year, (iii) the reimbursement of
an eligible expense will be made on or before the last day of the taxable year following the year in which the expense is incurred, and (iv) the right to reimbursement is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. 

5. Certain Representations and Warranties of Employee. Employee represents and warrants that Employee is entering into this Agreement
voluntarily and that Employee’s employment hereunder and compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement will not conflict with, or result in a breach of, any agreement to which Employee is a party or by which Employee may be bound,
or any legal duty that Employee owes or may owe to another. 
 6. Restrictive Covenants. As a material condition of the Company’s
offer of employment to Employee, Employee is obligated to execute and adhere to the Company’s Employee Work Product, Confidentiality, Non-Competition, and
Non-Solicitation Agreement, a copy of which is appended hereto as Exhibit A and the terms of which are hereby fully incorporated herein by reference.

 11. No
Waiver. The failure of a party to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Agreement on any occasion shall not be considered a waiver of such party’s rights or deprive such party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict
adherence to that term or any other term of this Agreement.

The Company is engaged in the highly competitive clinical research industry and offers leading regulatory, technical, compliance, quality, and

activities will directly or indirectly support the Company’s business, research and development efforts, business and customer relationships, reputation, and goodwill, all of which are the result of significant investments and are valuable
interests, and which, if used or diverted to benefit a competitor, would cause irreparable harm. To protect these interests and investments and for good and valuable consideration, including, without limitation, Employee’s at-will employment or any changes to that employment (including position or compensation changes), access to professional advancement potential, including specialized training and enhanced compensation
opportunities, access to Confidential Information, and opportunity to develop, maintain, or enhance business and customer relationships, Employee agrees to the following:

names, mask work rights, patents, and other intellectual property rights, title, or interest (including, but not limited to, all related patent applications and all priority rights) recognized by the laws of any jurisdiction or country whether or
not registered, which were: (i) conceived, created and/or reduced to practice by Employee, either solely or jointly with others, during Employee’s employment with the Company (whether or not during Employee’s hours of work, and
whether or not with the use the Company’s facilities, materials, or personnel) and for a period of twelve (12) months following the termination of Employee’s employment from the Company, and (ii) related to the actual or
anticipated business or activities of the Company, and/or suggested by or resulting from any task assigned by or to Employee or work performed by Employee for, or on behalf of, the Company; and (b) all copyrightable works (including, without
limitation, writings, presentations, reports, programs, drawings, tables, graphs, images, and recordings) Employee creates or prepares during and within the scope of Employee’s employment within the Company or relating to work performed for the
Company, whether or not created or prepared during Employee’s hours of work or with the use of the Company’s facilities, materials, or personnel, and regardless of whether the Company specifically requested the preparation of such work.

copyright registration, or other proprietary or intellectual property rights to protect the interests of the Company with respect to Company Work Product. Employee will not incorporate, or permit to be incorporated, any Prior Work Product into any

disclosure of Confidential Information, Employee is hereby notified that, pursuant to the Defend Trade Secrets Act as contained in 18 U.S.C. § 1833, Employee cannot be held criminally or civilly liable under any Federal or State trade secret
law for the disclosure of a trade secret that is made (i) in confidence to a Federal, State, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and (ii) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a
suspected violation of law. Employee also may not be held so liable for such disclosures made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. In addition, individuals who file a
lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected violation of law may disclose the trade secret to the attorney of the individual and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if the individual files any document
containing the trade secret under seal and does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order provided the Employee’s actions are consistent with 18 U.S.C. § 1833.

Employee’s employment with the Company. Employee agrees that the foregoing geographic and temporal scope is reasonable and appropriate based on the nature of the Company’s Business and Employee’s involvement therewith. This Agreement
