The offering at Slaughter and May is singled out for fielding the ‘top echelon of lawyers in the industry’. A portion of its recent work has involved advising renowned companies on the design, drafting and implementation of deferred bonus and long-term incentive plans; the group has also advised on the regulatory aspects of multi-jurisdictional financial matters, and complex incentives issues which result from international transactions. Highly experienced practitioner Philip Linnard heads up the team, which sits as part of the broader pensions, employment and incentives group, which Charles Cameron oversees. Ian Brown has specialist knowledge of executive compensation and share incentives, which he implements on transactional work. Rosemary Nelson has transactional and advisory capabilities, while newly promoted partner Philippa O’Malley is noted for her ’technical skill’. Padraig Cronin retired in 2023.
