Our experience
Employee Exit
We advised a senior employee in their exit from their company. The employee was also a major shareholder in the company, and we prepared the paperwork to transfer some of the shares to a new executive shareholder. Furthermore, we successfully negotiated the buyback and cancellation by the company of the balance of the shares. All this was done alongside negotiating and agreeing settlement terms relating to the client’s employment.
Employee Incentives
We have advised on numerous employee incentive arrangements, including a fast growing cyber security business with their growth share and EMI Option scheme to incentivise the key management team.
Group Reorganisation
We advised a growing London-based brand consultancy on its proposed creation of a new holding company of the existing trading company. This coincided with the setting up of a new office in Los Angeles (to be run through a US sister company of the UK trading company). We worked closely with the client’s accountants to manage the initial changes to the existing share structure of the trading company. In addition, this involved implementing a share for share exchange and putting in place new articles of association and a shareholders’ agreement for the new parent company.
Property Joint Ventures
We advised a developer on their joint venture documentation relating to a high value property development on The Strand.
Restructuring and Reorganisation
We advised a family on the division and reorganisation of a property ownership group in the value of in excess of £300m.
Serial Entrepreneurs
We advised a serial entrepreneur on his investment in a fast growing IT managed service business, which included the implementation of employee incentives.
Share Investment
We advised on the terms of investment of a team move to a large insurance broker, acting for the incoming management team. This involved negotiating and agreeing terms relating to the structure of the investment and long-term exit proposals.
Share Sales
We advised the management team of a healthcare solutions provider on their sale and reinvestment with a private equity house.
