About Cara Hegarty

I am an expert in executive remuneration and employee incentives / share plans, and associated corporate governance matters. I am recognised by Legal500 as a "Next Generation Partner" in the area of employee share schemes, praised by clients for my "strong technical advice"."Cara Hegarty is simply the best in the business in this area - she is responsive in a crisis and works with us in new areas without being phased at any sort of request"."Cara Hegarty is excellent – her advice is clear, thorough and pragmatic and her attitude is supportive and professional. I always feel I can speak to her as a sounding board and very much value the level of support we receive from her.""Cara Hegarty is one of the most intellectually agile people I have had the pleasure of working with. She thinks three problems ahead and comes up with commercial solutions to problems that we face. All future lawyers that we have will be held up to her standard, she is an asset to Linklaters and any firm she provides services to. I couldn’t praise her more highly." In addition, Chambers UK has identified me as an "Associate to Watch" in the field of Employee Share Schemes & Incentives, endorsing my ability to "provide excellent, pragmatic and timely advice, and understand the need to balance technical advice with commerciality", stating I am "excellent at getting to the heart of the matter and finding business-minded solutions, according to impressed clients". I am a qualified solicitor in England & Wales, NSW Australia and Ireland. I specialise in remuneration design, implementation and disclosure; employee share plans; gender pay gap reporting; employee share dealing and public, private and PE transactions. I have particular expertise and interest in the consumer and insurance sectors.
