Professional Advisors

The RM2 Partnership works with accountants, solicitors and financial advisers to enable them to offer their clients the full range of employee share scheme services.  Services can be provided at low cost under fee sharing or self-standing arrangements.

We specialise only in employee share schemes, so advisers need have no concerns that we will “poach” their client relationships.  Contact us for details.

Legal services

RM2 provides all legal drafting including scheme documentation, resolutions and minutes for shareholders, trustees and boards, and the drafting or modification of articles and shareholder agreements as required.  For larger clients, RM2 advises on governance issues such as the Combined Code, the ABI Guidelines and the latest Companies Act reporting requirements.  RM2’s services are informed by an unrivalled knowledge base of more than 700 successfully completed employee share schemes.

Accounting and expensing

Through our subsidiary the Share Valuation Centre Ltd, RM2 has carried out many hundreds of successful valuation negotiations with HM Revenue & Customs and has developed excellent relationships with the relevant officials.  RM2 can also provide detailed advice on accounting treatment and options expensing.
