Employee benefits
The Employee Incentives Team is a core part of the Tax Group. This aspect of our work is driven by trying to achieve the most tax efficient arrangements for companies wishing to incentivise their employees and directors, and indeed for the employees and directors themselves. The team works closely with our specialist employment and corporate lawyers.
However, the work of the team is not limited to pure tax issues. The design and implementation of share schemes (and advising on methods of incentivisation using direct share ownership) involves the consideration of issues ranging from the accounting impacts of the proposed arrangements to securities laws and financial assistance issues.
The team has extensive experience in advising both private and public companies on the most beneficial structures to put in place to incentivise their staff. In addition, we advise in relation to employee incentives and taxation in connection with the events occurring in a company's development from incorporation, to VC or private equity funding, to merger or acquisition and IPO.
