Whether your benefits and compensation plans are just being established, if you are interested in design and compliance, or if you are developing and offering retirement products and services, we can help you.

If you’re an employer, we can advise you on your ongoing plans, as well as corporate transactions and negotiations with government agencies - and we can work with your HR, tax and in-house legal teams, to move things along swiftly.

Meanwhile our international footprint means we are ready to assist you with worldwide equity compensation arrangements, multi-jurisdictional pension plan compliance reviews and cross-border M&A transactions.

Our Employee Benefits and Executive Compensation capability in Ireland 

The Irish tax regime offers a range of tax incentivised employee share and share/stock option schemes which may suit the needs of your business structure. There are also a range of tax reliefs and exemptions where employers and employees opt to part ways and these reliefs and exemptions often prove helpful in terms of reaching a deal between the parties in an amicable fashion. Our Irish Tax practice can assist you in getting the most out of these reliefs and exemptions for your employees/managers and your business.
