Implementing an appropriate and effective remuneration and incentive policy for management and employees is a key driver for a successful business. Having the right arrangements in place increases executive and employee engagement and motivation, improves relations with shareholders and other stakeholders, and gives companies a greater ability to attract, reward and retain the best talent.
We work hard to ensure we understand our clients’ businesses and work with them to design and implement bespoke executive and employee incentive plans. We identify the financial metrics against which an incentives plan should be measured and structure the incentives strategically to drive the behaviours that all good companies want. The resulting arrangements are always simple, focused and effective. We understand the regulatory landscape and have a firm grasp of continually evolving regulatory requirements for executive remuneration.
We support clients throughout the life cycle of their incentive plans, providing quality advice together with commercial solutions, whether on design, implementation or post implementation advice, as well as advising on Employee Benefit Trusts and transactional support.
We work with businesses of all sizes, from the largest FTSE-listed global organisations to smaller, high-growth entrepreneurial businesses or private, equity-backed companies. It gives us a unique perspective on the market.
We have a passion for working with private companies who will often need more bespoke and tailored advice in respect of their incentives arrangements. Our expertise in this field was recently recognised with our nomination for Best New Share Plan 2017 for our design of a highly innovative equity plan for a privately-owned fintech company with significant regulatory and structural challenges. The plan required innovation and creative thinking: we developed an arrangement that was new to the market, whilst still ensuring the plan delivered the right commercial outcome in a simple, clear manner.
