We provide expert advice on employee benefits law and practice
in Ireland. We can provide guidance through the complex areas of
securities, employment and tax law. Deciding on the type of arrangements
that suit a particular company is a key factor. We also provide
advice in relation to the following:
Designing benefit arrangements and exit mechanisms;
Providing solutions to update share plans that may no longer
address the need they were designed to address;
The impact for listed companies of the Stock Exchange Listing
Rules and institutional guidelines;
Establishing share plans that are capable of operating in a
global context;
Establishing tax approved and unapproved arrangements, such
as Revenue approved profit sharing schemes, employee share ownership
arrangements and SAYE schemes;
The benefits issues that arise in connection with flotations,
privatisations, management buyouts, venture capital investments,
takeovers and acquisitions; and
The implications of share offers made by overseas offerors.
The interest in employee benefits in Ireland is rapidly increasing
and the law regulating this area is highly complex.
