Global share option plans present both opportunities and complexities for businesses looking to incentivise staff across multiple jurisdictions. These plans must be carefully designed to support business goals and comply with tax and other requirements.
Our team specialises in designing and implementing effective option plans that operate smoothly as the company grows and expands. This guide aims to help you navigate the key legal, regulatory, tax and governance considerations for establishing share options and granting options globally.

The guide does not cover bespoke terms or specific company, sector, regulatory or individual requirements.
