Introduction This Practice Note sets out the principal UK tax and legal issues that can arise where an end user intends to provide shares, share options or other forms of equity to an individual in another jurisdiction who is engaged under an arrangement with an employer of record or a professional employer organisation. It looks at both perspectives: a UK end user offering equity to people overseas, and a non-UK end user granting equity to individuals situated in the UK. In every case, the particular rules and regimes of the relevant overseas territories must also be assessed. For a template that an end user can use to grant a share option to an individual engaged via an employer of record arrangement, see Precedent: Standalone unapproved share option agreement for a worker engaged via an employer of record. What is an employer of record structure? ...

This Practice Note Examines the practical difficulties of global supply chains and the commercial lawyer’s role in building a resilient supply chain for a business. It reviews supply chain risk and the suite of tools available to lawyers to mitigate those risks, including assessing and managing partner risk, controlling risk through supply chain contracts, and supplementary approaches to risk management, as well as other methods for managing risk. Effective risk management in supply chains demands insight into both operational realities and the legal obligations that apply wherever a company’s direct and indirect suppliers operate.

This is compounded by uncertain geopolitical and financial landscapes across jurisdictions that disturb harmonious conditions between markets, as shown in 2025 by the US imposing tariffs on certain global markets. On a global basis. Consequently, the risks that almost every business must now routinely assess go beyond natural disasters, pandemics and...

Background to the FCA regulation of claims management activities In April 2007, the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) created the Claims Management Regulation Unit (CMRU) to oversee and directly regulate claims management companies (CMCs). Since that point, the government has grown increasingly concerned about widespread misconduct within the claims management sector nationwide. In 2015, it commissioned the independent Brady Review to assess fully the nature and true scale of problems in the market and to propose practical improvements to regulation. The Review’s final report set out several detailed recommendations aimed at strengthening authorisation, supervision and enforcement processes for the regulation of CMCs. It concluded that, in principle, the most suitable route would be a new, standalone independent regulator focused solely and specifically on CMC regulation. However, given the government’s drive to reduce the number of public and arm’s-length bodies at the time, and because creating an entirely new organisation would probably be costlier than other options, the Report observed that the most credible alternatives were to strengthen the existing MoJ-based...
