Employee share schemes
The worldwide economy has created, over the years, a more and more competitive employment market. Legal counsels are increasingly required to offer innovative legal solutions to their clients to attract talents.
Hence, we have developed an extensive experience on employee incentives issues in France which includes stock options plan, free shares allotment (attributions gratuites d'actions) and specific preferred shares allotted to companies' founders
(bons de souscription de parts de créateur d'entreprise). In this respect, we assist our clients in tax and social optimization and structuring.
We also assist our clients in the negotiation of employment contracts including the benefit of employee share scheme.
The synergies between our employment and corporate practices allow us to implement such employee share schemes in the context of restructurings and mergers and acquisitions, taking into account our clients' operational and business constraints.
We combine our corporate, tax, securities, regulatory and labour know-how to create for our clients, practical and tailored-made solutions which fit both the company's business concerns and culture.
