Employee ownership trusts, or EOTs, are a way for a company to sell or assign ownership to its employees through a discretionary trust that holds shares for the workforce. A solicitor helps design the structure, draft the trust deed and articles, and ensure the arrangement complies with relevant law and tax rules so that employees benefit from ownership without triggering unintended liabilities. The work also covers advising on the exit strategy for any selling shareholder and coordinating with accountants and the company to implement ongoing governance and reporting obligations.
What a solicitor handles in these matters
The solicitor drafts the trust deed, share schemes and accompanying documentation, handles filings and registrations, and coordinates with HMRC for the tax position of the seller and employees. They ensure the trust holds shares on behalf of employees, set governance arrangements, and advise on annual valuations, distributions, and compliance with the Finance Act 2014 and Companies Act requirements. They liaise with the company, trustees, and professional advisers to address ongoing reporting and governance matters.
