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.

Tagged solicitor Matthew Clark

We used BTMK to remortgage one of the properties we own in our business. Being a solicitor myself, I know what I expect in terms of service from a law firm and BTMK met and surpassed those expectations. Their pricing is incredibly competitive and their communication was prompt and friendly. We were dealing with tight deadlines and a few hurdles which didn’t phase the team, with them offering proactive solutions. A big thank you to Hazel, Matthew, Irfan and Tobias. Would definitely use again and recommend BTMK.

Tagged solicitor Richard Clapham

I selected Downs Law to manage the sale of my company. It was clear from the initial consultation that Downs law has a very competent team of experts. Richard and his colleagues were excellent every step of the way - providing clear advice, being readily available when questions arose, and being extremely diligent in their duties. Couldn't ask for more.
