SRA Applications
Employee Ownership Trusts (EOTs)
An employee ownership trust transition can be an attractive succession route, but in an SRA-regulated context the legal and regulatory structuring needs careful thought. Ownership, control, manager approvals and authorisation issues all need to be considered together.
We help firms and their advisers navigate the regulatory side of the transaction so the structure works commercially and stands up from an SRA perspective.
How we help
- Advising on regulatory implications of the proposed structure
- Identifying owner and manager approval issues
- Supporting linked ABS or change-in-control questions
- Helping with applications and notifications
- Coordinating with legal and tax advisers
- Dealing with SRA engagement as the structure develops
