Our team’s success is due to the strength of the relationships we develop with our clients, combined with the high-quality of our lawyers at all levels. We take a practical, ‘hands-on’ and commercial approach, which translates into accessible, decisive and strategic advice, with client focused solutions.
We have significant experience advising on all aspects of the employment relationship - from recruitment to the termination of the employment relationship. We also work closely with the firm’s Corporate and Commercial department advising on the employment implications of mergers and acquisitions and corporate restructurings.
We have significant experience acting in contentious employment related matters such as disputes involving directors and shareholders and employment injunctions. We also regularly advise clients in respect of disputes related to unfair/wrongful dismissal, redundancy, restrictive covenants, discrimination, harassment and work-related stress.
