Fieldfisher is a market leader in Employee Ownership Structuring. I assist businesses in adopting an employee ownership structure, from initial tax structuring through to documenting the transaction. I have particular expertise in using Employee Ownership Trusts to provide a sustainable business ownership model for future generations. I also assist existing employee owned companies with corporate governance and implementing qualifying bonus plans.
I advise on the design, implementation and operation of executive and all employee share and option plans for a range companies. I work with clients to provide share incentive arrangements to recruit, motivate and retain employees. I advise on UK tax advantaged plans such as EMI, SAYE, SIP and CSOP, non-tax advantaged options, direct equity arrangements including growth shares and phantom plans.
I have also advised companies and business owners on the full range of corporate tax. I have worked with colleagues in all practice areas of the firm and across a variety of sectors to ensure tax is fully considered and that any tax risk on a transaction is allocated with proper contractual protection.
