Employment

 In today's litigious climate, individuals are increasingly aware of their employment rights, and the opportunity to pursue claims before Employment Tribunals and the Courts. Consequently, life as an employee is probably more complex than it has ever been before, and the law has become an ever more integral part of the employment process.

Whether you are an employer planning the growth, development or rationalisation of your business or an employee negotiating an entry or an exit, it is imperative that you take appropriate advice in order to protect your position.

Commercial advice is vital in an area that is as emotionally complex as employment in order to ensure that you remain focused on what it is you want to achieve.

We have a highly skilled employment team with extensive experience in representing UK and international employers and senior executives across a wide range of industry sectors. The department advises and litigates in all areas of employment law including in the High and Appellate Courts as well as the Employment Tribunal. Our employment partners are independently recognised legal experts.

We advise clients on all legal and practical issues arising out of the employment or engagement of employees, directors, partners and contractors. We aim to find solutions and resolve issues quickly where possible to avoid costly disputes.
