Offer description

We're working on a rare opportunity for a UK-qualified Share Incentives Lawyer to join a high-growth, internationally focused practice in London, advising some of the most dynamic and innovative companies in the technology and life sciences sectors. This is not a traditional incentives role. Sitting at the intersection of corporate, tax, and high-growth advisory work, you will be advising fast-scaling businesses - from early-stage ventures through to global market leaders - on the design and implementation of sophisticated equity incentive arrangements. The work is inherently international, with a strong UK/US focus and close collaboration with colleagues across the Atlantic on cross-border matters. You will work closely with an established Partner in a lean and ambitious London team, offering significant exposure to clients and a genuine platform for progression. The practice supports companies through their full lifecycle-fundraisings, M&A, IPOs, and beyond - meaning your role will be both advisory and transactional, and closely aligned with corporate deal flow. The role will involve: Designing, drafting and implementing share incentive plans, including EMI, CSOP and non-qualified arrangements; Advising on growth shares, flowering shares and related financing structures; Providing clear, commercial advice on the tax implications of UK employee incentive arrangements; Supporting on valuation matters, including benchmarking and analysis; Working closely with US colleagues on cross-border incentive issues affecting UK, European and US businesses; Advising on incentives aspects of financings, M&A transactions and other corporate events; Assisting with non-employee equity arrangements; Contributing to client development initiatives, thought leadership and internal know-how; and Supporting the continued build-out of the team's precedent bank. You will be a UK-qualified Lawyer with between 2-5 years' experience, with a strong grounding in employee share incentives. A solid technical understanding of EMI, CSOP, growth shares and non-qualified plans is essential, alongside a commercial and solution-driven mindset. Exposure to technology or venture-backed clients would be advantageous, as would any familiarity with US incentive structures, though neither is essential. This is an excellent opportunity for a Lawyer seeking high-quality, internationally focused work within a collaborative and entrepreneurial environment, with direct Partner access and clear scope for development. To find out more about this role and others we are handling, please get in touch in complete confidence. Either send your CV to david.vondadelszen@jamesonlegal.com or call David on 447860774391 for a confidential discussion. Please note that where a level of preferred experience or qualification is indicated, this is a guideline only and does not preclude applications from candidates with more or less experience. Our consultants will review your application and assess your suitability. We endeavour to respond to all applications within 72 hours, however due to the volume of applications we receive we may not be able to respond to every candidate individually and would advise that if you do not hear from us you should assume you are not successful in your application.
