Amy leads our Equity reward team in the UK, where she advises a wide variety of entrepreneurial and large, multi-national businesses on structuring appropriate equity reward plans to incentivise their employees, along with performing fiscal valuations to support said equity.
Experience
Amy has over 18 years of experience supporting and advising businesses, their owners and stakeholders on their equity reward incentive plans. Amy has advised on and implemented numerous tax-advantaged and bespoke incentive plans for businesses ranging from small high-growth start-ups to large established multi-national corporates.
Amy advises on the full lifecycle of employee incentives, from the initial design and implementation to the eventual maturity on the sale of the business.
Amy spends most of her time out talking to different businesses, which provides great insight into entrepreneurial and privately-owned businesses and the challenges they face.
Amy is a passionate believer in giving joined-up advice to businesses and not just considering the tax aspects.

Over the last 15 years, Amy has developed a deep specialism in equity reward and share incentive plans, particularly for privately owned businesses.
Amy recently worked alongside a client in the technology sector for 9 months on a $100m transaction, advising them on all aspects of share options, equity incentives and EIS reliefs.
