Led by Charles Cameron
, the ‘technically excellent’ team at Slaughter and May advises major public and private companies from a broad range of sectors on issues, such as directors’ renumeration policies, employee share-based incentive plans and the granting of share incentives to non-executive directors. The firm also frequently advises on the incentives aspects of major corporate transactions. Philip Linnard‘s broad practice extends to the operation of malus and clawback provisions. Padraig Cronin has in-depth knowledge of executive plans. ‘Share plans guru’, Ian Brown is equipped to assist with the design and implementation of discretionary and all-employee incentive arrangements, while the ‘outstanding’ Philippa O’Malley handles a broad range of contentious, advisory and transactional incentives matters. Rosemary Nelson and Richard Surtees are further names to note.
