Employee Share Option Schemes

Incentivising your team. Growing your business.

Employee Share Schemes are big news for companies. They’re brilliant when it comes to energising a start-up team or succession planning for a long-established business. Powerful when you want to drive engagement in an SME, and a handy tool to entice a new hire with ‘sweet equity’. Whatever your route, we’ll help you structure the right scheme – one that builds loyalty, performance and long-term business value.

We like to cut through complexity. That means explaining in simple terms how a scheme will affect ownership of your company today – and what it will mean maybe five or ten years down the line. We anticipate the risks, closely monitor qualifying rules, and implement restrictions that safeguard your business.

Helping employees understand the details of a “sweet equity” deal

We act for senior-level employees offered shares as an incentive to join or grow a business and achieve targets. Working closely with our experienced employment team, we ensure it is right package for your next important career move.

As we work hard to cover all the legal details, we’ll collaborate with other professional advisers to ensure that every angle is covered. When you want to set up a new scheme, buy back shares from leavers, or review an offer of equity as part of a new employment package, we’ll bring you clarity and confidence – and leave you firmly in control.
