Steve Penfold

Employee Share Schemes and Incentives

Steve is a Managing Associate who advises companies on tax-qualified employee share plans as well as global executive plans, advising on global due diligence and securities filings, share plan design and drafting plan documents.

He has particular expertise in dealing with UK tax-qualified plans and offshore trust arrangements as well as the technical, tax aspects of share plans.

Steve concentrates much of his time developing the business in Japan and his key clients include Sega, Nissan, Toyota and Renesas.

Steve has been instrumental in helping to expand the offering of a specific Japanese all-employee share purchase plan to employees outside of Japan. This is an important piece of work and we believe our client is the first Japanese company to offer this outside of Japan.
