Employee Share Ownership

---

Effective employee incentives that use the shares in a company can play a key role in recruitment, retention and motivation, as well as clearly aligning the interests of shareholders and employees. Our tax specialists will guide you in structuring and implementing incentives which will improve your business performance and help you to retain valuable staff.

We also advise executives and employees who are offered incentives involving their employing company’s shares. Getting the right deal for an employee is of paramount importance to them.

We can advise you on and implement the following plans and schemes:

• Enterprise management incentives (EMI)
• Unapproved options
• Company share option plans (CSOP)
• Growth shares
• Hurdle shares
• Transactions: review of issues arising on transactions, agreeing the tax position for employees and implementing new post-transaction share plans
• Compliance: helping you with your employment-related securities returns and other compliance work
