PricewaterhouseCoopers (PWC) has appointed Daniel Hepburn (pictured) director in its reward team.

He previously spent more than 10 years at law firm Clifford Chance, where he was a partner and head of its employee benefits group.

He has advised on employee reward for more than 20 years and has worked with many UK and multinational organisations on their employee incentive arrangements.

In his new role, Hepburn will advise on the design and implementation of a wide range of employee and executive incentives, including share, cash, bonus and other arrangements.

Carol Dempsey, partner in PWC’s reward team, said: “[Hepburn] is an important addition to our growing reward team and brings with him a wealth of experience in the legal, tax and regulatory aspects of employee reward.

“He joins at a crucial time as many organisations are re-evaluating the way they reward their employees of all levels, while dealing with ever-increasing regulation on remuneration structures and practices.”

Hepburn added: “The continued focus on employee and executive reward by businesses, shareholders and regulators is presenting new challenges and opportunities for organisations.

“I am delighted to be joining PWC’s leading practice at such an interesting time and working as part of a dynamic team.”
