We are pleased to announce the publication of the “Ireland: Employee Incentives” chapter of The Legal 500 Employee Incentives Comparative Guide, contributed by Aoife Bradley and Gillian Dully of the LK Shields Employment, Pensions and Employee Benefits team.

The chapter provides a comprehensive overview of employee incentives laws and regulations in Ireland, answering a wide array of questions relevant to employers already operating in Ireland or considering moving their business to Ireland, including:

• What kinds of incentive plan are most commonly offered and to whom?
• What kinds of share option plan can be offered?
• Can awards be made subject to performance criteria, vesting schedules and forfeiture?
• Are there any prospectus or securities law requirements that apply to the operation of incentive plans?
• Are there any corporate governance guidelines that apply to the operation of incentive plans?
