Employment
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 tax, pensions, equity
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.
Our experience includes:
- advice on HR strategy such as planning for legislative
developments and rolling out contractual changes
- planning and managing organisational redesign, such as
TUPE transfers, redundancies and restructurings
- bringing and defending claims in the Employment Tribunal
and High Court
