Law firms ranked by client reviews
Equity based incentives cover schemes that grant employees or directors an opportunity to acquire or participate in a company’s share capital, often through options or awards. In England, solicitors draft and review scheme rules, option and award deeds, and related agreements; advise on tax-advantaged schemes such as EMI, CSOP or SAYE, and navigate securities law, company law, and regulatory requirements. They also handle communications with the employer, employees, and counterparties, and ensure compliance with Companies House filings and HMRC guidance where relevant.
What a solicitor handles in these matters
These matters involve drafting precise scheme rules and option agreements, administering eligibility, curating vesting and exercise conditions, and addressing any deferral or adjustment mechanics, dilution, and surrender provisions. The solicitor coordinates with payroll, HR, and tax advisers to ensure correct tax treatment and timely reporting, while managing potential disputes and amendments to the scheme.
