Why come to usOur tax team is experienced in both the commercial and legal issues surrounding employee compensation and benefits.

We provide clear and understandable advice which is tailored to fit the needs and requirements of your business and your employees.
How we can help
We have a particular expertise in advising on and drafting employee share schemes. Sharron Carle in particular was involved with the drafting and implementation of an employee share scheme for an international airline and has much experience assisting companies with the trials and tribulations involved with introducing an all employee scheme. Employee and executive share ownership schemes can be of great benefit to your business in helping to recruit, retain and incentivise employees and directors through performance-related benefits. Our tax, company law and employment specialists work together to provide you with a complete package, from devising the scheme, drafting documents, rolling it out and explaining the benefits to employees, to dealing with HMRC and filing requirements. We help with managing schemes and can advise you on any changes to the law or practice. We also advise on termination packages, including garden leave, termination payments, compromise agreements and payments in lieu of notice.
