Phantom Share / Long-Term Incentive Plan for Key Employees

We are seeking an experienced UK corporate solicitor, preferably with UK–India cross-border employment and tax experience, to prepare a tailored Phantom Share / Long-Term Incentive Plan for two key long-serving employees. **Company structure** We have a UK parent company and an operating/sister company in India. The two selected employees are employed and paid by the India company and have worked with our group for approximately 3–4 years. We want to reward their long-term contribution and retain them as the business grows. This is not an arrangement to issue actual shares in the UK parent company. Instead, we require a legally binding phantom-share arrangement under which each employee may receive a future cash benefit linked to the value, growth or exit value of the UK parent company. The founders must retain full ownership, voting rights and management control. **Proposed entitlement** Each employee will receive a notional entitlement linked to the UK parent company: * On grant: 0.10% * After 12 months’ continued service: 0.12% * After 24 months: 0.14% * After 36 months: 0.16% * After 48 months: 0.18% * After 60 months: maximum 0.20% Entitlement must be subject to continued employment, satisfactory performance, loyalty, confidentiality and compliance with company policies. Employees must receive no actual shares, voting rights, dividend rights, shareholder rights or management rights. **Commercial intention** We prefer payment only on a defined liquidity event, such as a sale of the UK parent company, substantial business or asset sale, merger, acquisition, IPO, or board-approved cash settlement. We require advice on the most appropriate basis for calculating the benefit, including whether it should be based on: * The relevant percentage of net exit proceeds; * Growth in company value from the grant date; or * Another commercially fair, legally robust and tax-efficient method. **Key protections required** The documents must cover: * Vesting and annual increases up to the 0.20% cap; * Clear valuation and payout formula, including liabilities, debts, taxes, transaction costs, investor preferences and founder loans; * Good-leaver and bad-leaver provisions; * Treatment of vested and unvested rights if an employee resigns, is dismissed, becomes inactive, commits misconduct, breaches confidentiality, joins a competitor or fails performance standards; * Whether rights survive for good leavers and for how long; * No payment unless there is a qualifying exit or board-approved settlement; * No sale, transfer, assignment or pledge of phantom rights; * Confidentiality, IP ownership, non-solicitation and reasonable post-termination protections; * Founder control, fundraising, future investor rights, dilution, restructuring, merger and sale protections; * Board discretion to amend, suspend, replace or terminate the scheme where appropriate; * Governing law and dispute-resolution provisions. **Cross-border requirements** The plan must address that the UK parent company’s value is being tracked, while employees work for and are paid through the India company. Please advise on the correct contracting parties, payment route, Indian payroll treatment, UK and Indian tax, withholding, foreign-exchange, transfer-pricing, employment-law and reporting implications. **Deliverables** Please provide: * A short recommendation on the best legal structure; * Tailored Phantom Share / Long-Term Incentive Plan; * Individual award agreements for two employees; * UK parent board resolutions and approvals; * Required India-company documentation or approvals; * Valuation and payout formula; * Good-leaver and bad-leaver clauses; * Simple founder implementation guide; * UK and India tax/compliance checklist; * Advice on whether Indian legal or tax counsel should review the documents. We do not want a generic template or actual shares issued at this stage. We need a practical, founder-protective arrangement that rewards long-term loyalty while preserving ownership and control of the UK parent company. When applying, please confirm your experience with phantom shares, long-term incentive plans, shareholder protections and UK–India arrangements; whether you are a qualified UK solicitor; whether you work with Indian advisers; your fixed fee or estimate; delivery timeframe; and relevant examples of similar work without breaching confidentiality.

Legal advice Employment law employer negligence accident at work

** Must be a qualified solicitor registered with SRA ** Looking to understand how to best move forward with legal action for a past work accident, and what are the steps involved, rough costs, time frames etc. Is employee negligence / breach duty of care the best (as in most likely) legal avenue? Need to understand the time limits – I didn’t find out the cover up until a copy of my medical records were obtained in 2024. Does the fact that the company covered up the accident and denied me life saving medical care offer and avenue and also nullify the personal injury claim ? I have no desire at this stage to explore legal action against my past solicitors. Is an employer legally required to provide medical assistance to an employee who sustains a serious injury, and do they also have a legal obligation to ensure that a certain number of staff members are trained in first aid? Happy to communicate in writing or phone call etc. I suffered a workplace accident that was not my fault and the company admitted liability, however due to workplace accidents being rife the company (to be confirmed) deliberately tried to cover up and downgrade the accident, ultimately leading to myself receiving such inadequate medical care that it constitutes being denied medical care. This is also lead to incorrect information being documented on my medical records with was a vast contrast to what I was claiming my injuries were, so that it created a bias from health care professionals that is still prevalent today, resulting in still not receiving adequate investigation or treatment. The accident 03/03/2017- whilst working in a loading bay and opening the curtains on a large double decker height lorry, another employee operating a folk lift started unloading from the opposite side and knocked a pallet containing 50kg of drums. striking me in the head throwing me to the floor. Immediately following my accident, the company having no qualified health and safety staff members on shift, did not call an ambulance to correctly identify the severity of my head injury, and went against protocol to move me, forcibly picking me up and taking me to Loughborough walk in centre. Whilst I was suffering from a severe concussion and did not feel capable, the company employee told the doctors at the walk in centre that I had been hit on the head by a 5ltr bottle - not a pallet totalling 50kg drums and was exceptionally lucky to be alive. I did not establish this fact until February 2024 when I got a copy of the my NHS medical record from the night of my accident. The employee misinforming the doctor was part of the evidence I have as to why the company deliberately covered up my accident: • The company had a chequered health and safety history, including a fatality in 2003 - news paper article attached. • 3 cameras of the accident were mysteriously not working. • No ambulance called • Doctors given incorrect information to down play the accident. • The company did not report the accident to the health and safety executive until 3.5 Years after the accident - not the maximum of 15 days timeframe required by RIDDOR. • Its suspected that the companies insurance company may have also been given the incorrect weight * - pending information from a GDPR request . Possible avenues of legal recourse: Employer Negligence / Duty of Care: The company breached their duty of care and failed to provide me with medical help following my accident. No health and safety employee on site, I was a risk employee being on blood thinners and should not have been moved without a spinal board and an ambulance. please see the attached word document that covers the rest of the details.

UK Commercial Litigation Solicitor

We are looking for an experienced UK Commercial Litigation Solicitor to provide urgent legal advice regarding a dispute with our third-party fulfilment and warehousing provider. This is a business-to-business commercial contract dispute governed by the laws of England and Wales. Background We entered into a signed fulfilment and warehousing agreement with a UK third-party logistics (3PL) provider. The agreement contains an express clause requiring 30 days' written notice for termination by either party. On 27 June 2026, we served written notice to terminate the agreement in accordance with the contract. On 30 June 2026, the fulfilment provider confirmed in writing that: Friday, 3 July 2026 would be the final day they would dispatch our customer orders. They were still reconciling and packing our inventory. They could only "try" to have our stock ready for collection. They anticipated that multiple collections might be required. Our concern is that the provider intends to cease providing the contracted fulfilment service only six days after receiving our contractual notice, rather than continuing to perform the agreement throughout the agreed 30-day notice period. We require urgent legal advice on whether the provider is entitled to end the service before the contractual notice period expires, whether this amounts to a breach of contract, and whether we have grounds to recover the financial losses arising from these actions. Advice Required We require an experienced solicitor to review: The signed fulfilment agreement. The contractual termination provisions. Email correspondence. The actions taken during the notice period. Our legal position. Any potential breaches of contract. Our prospects of recovering financial losses. Specifically, we require advice on: Whether the fulfilment provider has complied with the contractual 30-day notice provisions. Whether they were required to continue performing the agreement throughout the notice period. Whether ending the fulfilment service after only six days constitutes a breach of contract. Whether requiring us to collect our stock before the expiry of the contractual notice period is lawful. Whether we have grounds to recover financial losses, including additional transport, fulfilment costs, lost sales and other consequential losses where recoverable. Whether a Letter Before Claim should now be issued. What immediate steps we should take to protect our legal position before collecting our stock. Documents Available Please only apply if you have experience in: Commercial contract disputes Commercial litigation. Warehousing and logistics agreements. Third-party fulfilment (3PL) contracts. Recovery of commercial losses. Please include details of your relevant experience, similar matters you have acted on, your hourly rate or fixed-fee proposal, your availability for an urgent consultation, and whether you would be able to continue acting for us should the matter proceed beyond the initial advice. Timescale This matter is urgent. We are looking to appoint a solicitor immediately and would ideally like an initial consultation within the next 24 hours. Our objective is to establish whether the fulfilment provider has breached the agreement, protect our legal position before our stock is collected, and recover any financial losses arising from any proven breach.
