Top 10 of 960 law firms for Share Option Agreements, Company Law

Law firms ranked by client reviews

Share option agreements cover how employees or directors acquire the right to buy shares in the employer company. In plain terms, they set out who may receive options, when options vest, the exercise price, and what happens if employment ends. A solicitor drafts or negotiates the option terms, the underpinning shareholder or EMI/CSOP arrangements, and the associated documents such as option letters, tax notices, and share schemes, ensuring the terms align with company financing and any tax-advantaged schemes. The work often involves advising on compliance and potential liabilities if options are exercised or forfeited.

What a solicitor handles in these matters

Complexity arises from intersecting tax rules (e.g., EMI/CSOP), valuation issues, vesting conditions, post-termination exercise rights, and the interaction with company articles and share plans. The solicitor handles drafting and review of option grants, the interplay with employment contracts, and the procedures for exercising options, while clarifying regulatory compliance and ensuring robust governance and protections for the company and recipient.

We delt with Ash S. for our remortgage. Communication was very good (yep and how often can you say that about solicitors!!) He kept us updated throughout the process and ensured we completed on time. What more do you want, would recommend and will use again.

Tagged solicitors Austin Blackburn and Jasmine Peglar

We recently engaged Nash & Co to assist with a company reorganisation for succession planning purposes. This marked our second time working with them in the past six months, and once again, they demonstrated professionalism throughout. The project was completed within the agreed timeframe and delivered on budget. Much of the work was expertly handled by Jasmine Peglar, a paralegal who provided strong support to Austin Blackburn. Nash & Co is an excellent firm, and we look forward to working with them on future projects.
