Law firms ranked by client reviews
Stock options, including tax‑advantaged EMI options and other share schemes, cover the grant, vesting and exercise of rights to acquire shares in a company. A solicitor in this area drafts and negotiates option agreements, scheme rules, and resolutions, checks eligibility under the relevant tax provisions, and prepares documentation for option holders and the company. They help ensure compliance with company law requirements and advise on the consequences of vesting, exercise, or termination.
What a solicitor handles in these matters
A solicitor handles the design and administration of option schemes, the drafting of option agreements, scheme rules and amendments, and the interaction with tax relief regimes such as EMI. They review eligibility, the impact on the cap table, and the potential liabilities if options are exercised, including tax and reporting obligations to HM Revenue & Customs and, where relevant, Companies House.
