Bird & Bird is committed to maintaining an inclusive work environment and we are an equal opportunities employer. We support an agile working environment and are happy to discuss flexible working.
The position has arisen in order to rebalance the EIB team and will come with a lot of autonomy and potentially significant career progression. The role will consist entirely of EIB and you will be advising on: incentives aspects of corporate transactions, including structuring earn-outs and tax planning; the design of management incentive arrangements, including EMI plans, growth shares, JSOPs and other arrangements; cross-border incentive arrangements, including the roll-out of equity arrangements across multiple jurisdictions; advising on employment taxes, including termination payments and internationally mobile employees. The team at Bird & Bird works closely with founders and key members of the management team in organisations of varying sizes and we have a particular strength in assisting startup businesses. You will therefore need to be able to advise in a concise, commercial manner.
