The role will consist entirely of EIB work and your work will focus on advice to our PRIVATE COMPANY clients, including: incentives aspects of corporate transactions (including tax), the design of core management incentive arrangements, such as EMI option plans growth shares, CSOPs, LTIPs, JSOPs, employee benefit trusts and nominee arrangements; cross-border incentive arrangements, including the roll-out of global equity arrangements across multiple jurisdictions; advising on employment taxes, including termination payments and tax-advantaged share plans. You will also assist with advice to our LISTED clients, ranging from AIM to Main Market and covering both transactional and advisory elements including: executive and all-employee share plans, together with their related trust/nominee arrangements, tax and cross-border elements.
