Management Packages & Incentive SchemesTax lawyers in Bordeaux, Paris and Hossegor
Management packages and incentive schemes are essential tools for motivating and retaining a company’s senior executives and key employees. They raise complex tax and legal issues, requiring a tailored and secure strategy for both the company and the beneficiaries.
Our firm, which specialises in corporate taxation and remuneration structuring, supports its clients in the design, implementation and optimisation of management packages and incentive mechanisms, in order to maximise economic efficiency while securing the tax position and personal wealth of the beneficiaries.
Our areas of intervention

Before any implementation, it is essential to define a suitable strategy:

- Identification of eligible employees and executives;
- Review of the various types of management packages (free shares, stock options, BSPCE (French founders’ share warrants), preference shares, etc.);
- Determination of suitable incentive mechanisms;
- Assessment of the tax and social security impact for the company and the beneficiaries.
