Our recently formed Employment unit has jumped from an internal support service to a fully-fledged department with its own client base.

The team prides itself on its commercial and pragmatic approach, finding practical and cost-effective solutions to our clients' complex and often sensitive problems. Our clients appreciate this in what they sometimes perceive to be an overly-bureaucratic area of law.

Our main areas of activity are:

  • acting primarily for employers, ranging from small, owner-managed businesses to PLCs, both local and national
  • general employment advice and support to the provision of comprehensive documents from recruitment through to termination
  • employment disputes in the tribunals and courts
  • working in conjunction with our Business Services and Real Estate teams providing employment support in commercial and real estate transactions
  • advising employees in severance procedures for high-earning executives and directors.
