Jackson Lewis P.C. has a deep practice niche in employee stock ownership plans. We regularly assist our clients in structuring ESOP transactions and with related compliance matters, and in helping to further the success of our clients’ businesses by evolving an “employee ownership” culture using ESOPs. We also regularly represent and assist institutional trustees of ESOPs.

If you would like to learn more about the advantages of establishing and/or selling to an ESOP, we encourage you to review the following papers:

Description and Purpose of an ESOP

An Introduction to Employee Ownership and Selling to an ESOP

If you have any questions about a potential ESOP transaction or an existing ESOP, please contact me.
