Employment

We understand that no two employment contracts are the same. Our employment solicitors advise C-suite and senior executives, managing directors, partners, LLP members, founders, entrepreneurs, senior academics and others on their unique employment needs.

Facing an employment law dispute can, of course, be difficult. We guide you through the process with empathy and insight, helping you address the issues confidently. As committed advocates for diversity and inclusion, we have a strong track record of achieving substantial settlements for employees subjected to workplace discrimination. Our solicitors can assist in claims for sex, age, race, and gender identity discrimination, protect your rights during pregnancy and maternity leave or as a whistleblower, and fight for equal pay and opportunities.

If you are involved in a performance process, we can help you challenge unfair treatment and ensure that any genuine process is handled fairly. By providing practical advice on resolving the situation, we will enable you to regain a sense of control.

Being accused of misconduct, particularly sexual harassment, can be deeply traumatic, especially in a regulated environment. Our employment solicitors guide you through each step of the investigation, disciplinary process and appeal, ensuring your rights are protected and your employer is fully aware of its duty of care. Where an exit is the preferred outcome, we will advise on settlement proposals and either support you in the background or engage in without prejudice settlement discussions on your behalf.

While we always seek to reach a settlement without litigating, our employment solicitors are experienced advocates and frequently represent clients in court and at tribunals. Where appropriate, we can provide specialist help in resolving conflict through alternative dispute resolution.
