The Firm:
This is a leading, highly regarded firm has a very supportive and positive culture. The team advises on all aspects of employee benefits, including the design, implementation and communication of senior executive and employee incentive plans, the establishment and operation of employee benefit trusts (to support share plans and as wealth creation vehicles), executive tax planning (including those who are mobile internationally), as well as corporate governance, regulatory and compliance matters.
The team acts for a wide range of clients from venture capital entities to multinational companies. The team provides support to the corporate teams on transactional matters, including PE deals, mergers and acquisitions, flotations and business reconstructions.
The Role:
As a newly or recently-qualified lawyer, you will have trained with a highly respected law firm, preferably a City or large regional practice or accountancy firm specialising in this type of work.
You will be able to use your experience in a broad range of share scheme work. In particular you will be able to work on all types of HM Revenue & Customs approved schemes and will become familiar with unapproved arrangements such as growth/freezer shares, nil paid arrangements and joint ownership plans. You will have some knowledge of trust law and some exposure to the taxation issues relating to employee benefit trusts (including inheritance tax and disguised remuneration provisions) would also be beneficial.
