Synopses & Reviews
For each of thirty countries, International Employee Equity Plans presents a detailed survey of applicable law, trends, and customs affecting employee participation. Each chapter is written by practicing employment lawyers in that particular jurisdiction, ensuring that the critical issues, potential pitfalls, and likely changes are incisively dealt with. Among the matters described and analysed for each country are the following:
- the most advantageous (and disadvantageous) types of plans;
- relevant securities offering rules;
- all legal compliance steps;
- available exemptions and reliefs and the conditions upon which they are offered;
- the fine line between informing and advising;
- taxation of employee benefits and other tax rules;
- the extent to which local courts will recognize foreign law in all pertinent matters.
