Baxendale Employee Ownership are expert advisors on employee ownership in all its forms. We have been helping businesses become employee owned for over twenty years and are the UK’s leading advisors on Employee Ownership Trusts (EOTs).

EOTs are highly flexible ownership structures that have the potential to benefit both the business and its employees for the long term. Our team understand the importance of learning about your business and finding the solutions that are right for all stakeholders.

As a multidisciplinary team of lawyers and consultants, we are able to offer an unrivalled combination of legal, financial and practical experience and expertise, and will work with you not only to ensure that the transition delivers what the current owners require in terms of the sale of their business, but also that the newly employee owned business has the best possible chance of future success.

We project manage your employee ownership transition from beginning to end: advising on legal, financial and governance structures and working with you on engagement and employee communication to ensure everyone in the business understands the changes taking place.

We understand that EOTs are not one-size-fits-all structures, and often our clients require a more bespoke EOT / governance structure that better reflects the identity of their business. Sometimes this can involve us advising on and implementing employee share schemes for direct share ownership.
