Matt Courtiour

Matthew advises private and listed companies on employee reward and incentivisation, in particular the taxation of share plans and structuring on transactions. 

Experience

Reward encompasses all aspects of remuneration from salary or bonuses to long term incentives. Matthew works with clients to align the interests of management teams with those of shareholders, where possible, with tax efficiency in mind.

Working with our international network means that Matthew can help implement multijurisdictional plans or help foreign parent companies to understand the reporting and tax implications of plans that they want to implement in their UK subsidiaries.

Matthew has also worked on numerous transactions helping buyers and sellers through this process.

Notable client work & achievements

Over his career Matthew has assisted many clients but notably:

• A 'unicorn' with the implementation of a share option and growth share plan for over 500 employees in multiple jurisdictions; and
• Buyside tax support for a client on a $1.6 billion transaction with a significant share plan issue.
