Chris Chapple

I advise on remuneration planning across a range of structures and industries, with a particular focus on private equity and financial services. This includes share-based arrangements, trusts and partnership planning. I have experience advising a number of FTSE 250 remuneration committees on broader pay, governance and shareholder relations issues.

Because much remuneration planning involves giving individuals an ownership interest in a business, I also advise on a large number of transactions, notably PE-backed deals and IPOs. I cover all tax consequences for owner-managers, including capital gains tax, inheritance tax, debt instruments, earn-outs and transactions in securities.

I have Tax Champion responsibilities for management buy-outs, transactions in securities, sale of companies and EMI and share incentives. I'm also a member of the firm's Tax Technical Committee.

Ask me about remuneration planning, share incentives, EMI, private equity deal tax, IPO tax, capital gains tax and FTSE 250 remuneration committee advisory.
