Our Employment Practice advises on the varied employment issues facing our clients on a day-to-day basis. 

Employment law is a dynamic and fast moving area of law and our clients know that we are fully up to speed with both the legal developments and the practical implications for the workplace.

We have an expert team of specialist employment lawyers with a reputation for providing quality advice across all areas of contentious and non-contentious employment law.  Due to our Practice's breadth of experience, we advise a broad range of clients from both the private and public sector. We combine our legal expertise with a grounded commercial approach, enabling us to deliver focused, practical solutions and advice on long-term strategy to our clients.

Clients instruct us on a variety of employment issues, ranging from unfair dismissal, redundancy, discrimination and TUPE to tribunal and High Court litigation. Our lawyers work closely with colleagues in dedicated teams advising on taxpensionsequity incentives and executive immigration.

Our clients benefit from a comprehensive service, which recognises the challenge of coping with the frequent changes to employment law. They receive fortnightly email updates and newsletters on key employment law developments, can attend our regular seminar and workshop programme and receive bespoke training. We also provide a dedicated employment law website.
