TESTIMONIALS
In our clients' words
"Tribeca first engaged the services of Nick Brash in 2005 to implement an employee share ownership program. We found him to be an expert in this specialised line of work, a lawyer who speaks in plain English and someone who is very receptive to questions. Over the years we have engaged Nick on a number of occasions for employee share ownership plan related issues and I would highly recommend Nick to anyone."
“At a time when we couldn’t afford a full-time legal counsel or CFO, Nick effectively filled these roles – bringing big-firm expertise with the flexibility and affordability that startups like ours need. He helped us set up a fair and tax-effective structure for investor contributions, an employee share plan, key supplier and distribution agreements, a convertible note raise, an upgrade to our constitution, and an executive bonus scheme. His support helped us build the right foundation for our next phase of growth.”
"Nick was amazing throughout this whole project. He kept it simple and helped us focus on the end goal while making sure all legal requirements were met so we don’t have issues later down the path. A pleasurable experience for such a challenging topic."
"We were fortunate to be referred to Brash Solutions. Combined with a very strong and current understanding of financial and legislative requirements, Brash Solutions has delivered our organisation a clear, professional and compliant employee share ownership plan and overall incentive strategy for a very competitive fee. I have no hesitation in recommending Brash Solutions to other organisations seeking similar assistance and services."
"Thanks for your help with Employee Satisfaction & Productivity at Pickering Joinery. Since you came, employee morale has improved and our key people are ‘switched on’ and functioning really well. Whatever you did worked, and like I said to you, it was the best money I’ve ever spent! I look forward to working with you now to consolidate the new more positive working environment you’ve helped us to create.""

About esops
What's an ESOP?
An employee share ownership plan (ESOP) gives your team an ownership interest in the business — aligning effort, outcomes, and reward.
We also work with founders and CEOs on other incentive models — like profit-sharing, gain-sharing, or tailored bonus schemes — suited to the company’s stage and goals.
Where ESOPs go wrong
Get the design wrong, and an ESOP creates more problems than it solves.
Here are the most common pitfalls we see:
Plan design
Template ESOPs ignore your reality
The wrong balance between skin in the game and safety nets
Equity held by ex-employees creates long-term drag
No liquidity means no real incentive
Most advisers miss the human element
Plan implementation
Fees spiral when too many advisors get involved
Over-engineered plans nobody understands
Tax-effective, without ATO red flags
