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 called Burrows and was put in touch with Janice, who met me in person to review the agreement and offer advice. I was very satisfied with the service overall, and everything went through without a problem. I would highly recommend Janice if you are in a similar position.
