Employee shares and share schemes cover the ways a employer can grant or reward staff with shares, options or other equity rewards. A solicitor in this area advises on the design, eligibility, tax implications and administration of schemes such as share options and tax-advantaged plans like EMI. They draft the scheme rules, option grant letters, and all official documentation, review employment contracts and post-termination restrictions, and help ensure the scheme complies with corporate governance, company law and HMRC rules. The work may involve negotiating with trustees, handling amendments to plans, and advising on dispersal or exercise of options.
The key decisions revolve around triggering events, tax consequences for individuals and the company, and the consequences of exercising or forfeiting options. A solicitor provides guidance on compliant scheme operation, potential penalties for mismanaging awards, and the regulatory framework that shapes when and how shares can be issued, transferred or withheld.

I had quite a complicated (to me) settlement agreement that needed ratifying. Tom Burton Wills was reassuring and kowledgable and the process was completed with the minmum of fuss and time. I would not hesitate in recommending him to others.

They slotted me in super quickly. They guided me through the process and explained everything really well. Communication was really fast, I had no issues with just letting them get on with things and the matter was closed in a couple of weeks. Would 100% use again.

Tagged solicitor Michael Horne
Michael Horne, of Kidwells, will empower you and allay your fears, talking in plain English and cutting the bull. So many Solicitors are stuffy and aim to charge you money, straight off the bat, but they don’t realise that customers need to build trust with purveyors of services. Kidwells are professional and amenable, and it was a pleasure talking to Michael at, what was a stressful time for me, I wholeheartedly recommended them - they inspire confidence and get the job done.
