Employee trusts cover arrangements where an employer uses a trust to hold shares or benefits for employees, often via an employee benefit trust or share trust. A solicitor drafts the trust deed, appoints and liaises with trustees, and sets the powers and limits on distributions to staff. They advise on tax and reporting implications, register and file with HM Revenue & Customs, and help ensure compliance with relevant employment and company law rules. The work shapes how employees acquire and exercise future interests in company share schemes.
What a solicitor handles in these matters
The solicitor handles the technical structure of the trust, the roles of trustees, the interaction with company share schemes, the tax and reporting framework, and the documentation required to implement and maintain the arrangement, including scheme rules and distributions.
