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.

Where a solicitor protects your position

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.

Anna Jane Louisa Neil

Tagged solicitor Anna Jane Louisa Neil

I was advised Maitland Walker by my employer. It was a bit of a niche situation that I needed advice on, and although the situation changed, Anna straight away had a number of solutions. She also helped to drive the process from both sides of the situation, whilst always having a clear understanding and care of the situation. In the nicest way I hope I never have to use them again, but I 100% would use them if needed.
