Share options schemes can help you attract the best people and keep them engaged and motivated.
Share options schemes can be a good way to attract, retain and motivate the best people for your business. Our established team of commercial lawyers can advise whether this is for you, and if so which among the many options out there is the right one.
These are sometimes referred to as an employee share scheme (ESS), an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP), employee share plans or employee ownership plans. They give employees the right to buy shares in the business, giving them motivation and a stake in the company’s future success. Share options can apply to key managerial staff only or across the board to all employees in your business.
Whether you are a start-up or a well-established firm, setting up share options schemes can look like a daunting task. We have a specialised team of share options schemes solicitors to give you expert legal advice and help you implement the right plans. They are an excellent way to give your employees a stake in the business, and can be structured to provide tax benefits as well.
