Share option schemes

You don’t need us to tell you that keeping your key people motivated and incentivised is vital to the success of your business. So you might be considering a share option scheme, whether for all your employees or just your key managers, to recognise and reward performance. They can be a great way of giving employees a real stake in the success of the business.

Setting up a share option scheme from scratch can be a daunting prospect. There’s so much to think about, you’ll want to have an experienced team on your side to offer support and advice. Our established team of commercial lawyers can advise you on a range of schemes, including

• Short term incentive plans
• Long term incentive plans
• Approved schemes 
• Approved savings related schemes

• Employee share option schemes
