Nick Hipwell

Nick’s experience includes advising:

• On the design and implementation of a multiple award‐winning incentive plan offered to all the employees of a global technology company in over 70 countries.

Take‐up of participation in the plan by employees was far higher than market norms.

• Many P/E owned companies on the design and implementation of incentive arrangements for employees below the executive level, including several which involved all employees across multiple countries.
• On the implementation of a suite of new share plans for a multinational asset management business. The advice included compliance with the remuneration rules which apply to the sector, local laws and the preparation of a comprehensive suite of implementation documents.
