Share options provide a ready solution to any number of issues that may from time to time face the owners of a company.

Employee share options (such as Enterprise Management Incentives (EMI) options and Company Share Option Plans (CSOPs)) can help align the interests of employees with shareholders, by ensuring that employees have an interest in the value of the company’s shares increasing, or an interest in getting the company to a sale or flotation.

Options can also be used to protect shareholders and manage succession, giving continuing shareholders the right to buy shares from a deceased or outgoing shareholder when they die or leave the company for other reasons.

However, with most share options and those granted to employees in particular, it is vital to ensure that all relevant statutory rules are complied with in order to attract more advantageous tax treatment.

As well as tax issues, great care needs to be taken over the valuation of the shares concerned and as to when and in what circumstances the option can be exercised and to make sure that there is no conflict between the terms of the option and the company’s articles of association.

KBL corporate solicitors will work with you, your accountants and financial advisors to ensure that you chose the right option and that you can rely on it to reward your key employees or to protect you, your family and other shareholders when you need it to.

What our clients say about us

  • We chose KBL due to their specialism in commercial property and their proven work with Max Spielmann stores.

    Steve Thompson, The Fragrance Shop
  • KBL offers pragmatic and effective advice with an exceptional degree of client care.

    Jonathan Warburton, Warburtons Ltd
  • KBL acted on my behalf during a long and drawn-out divorce. They were very supportive, professional and knowledgeable during the 18-month case and provided me with great reassurance throughout this difficult time.

    Mr Hulley
  • I have instructed KBL in relation to a complex Employment matter. Sarah Collier is highly experienced in Employment Law. The client care provided by Sarah Collier and her assistant Sarah Taylor was exceptional and went over and beyond my expectations in the matter. A pragmatic approach was taken in the matter and I achieved the conclusion I was hoping for. Would definitely recommend KBL Solicitors.

    Ismail Limbada
  • Gillian Hindle has worked on several legal matters for me and I have always found her advice to be sound, timely and crystal clear. In addition, she has always been unfailing polite, attentive and readily available. She is both a consummate professional and a delightful individual.
