Employment

Employment disputes are a tricky business with a constantly changing legal landscape. They can come seemingly out of nowhere and cause significant damage to finances and morale. Employees might also need skilled legal help in deciding how to react to certain circumstances – and to get proper compensation when they’ve been treated poorly.

We’re experienced in handling complex c-suite and senior management exits and collective redundancy processes – agreeing settlement terms where possible – and representing both employees and employers in tribunal hearings if not.

We also advise on drafting and enforcing, often contentious, non-compete and non-solicitation restrictions, which can be crucial to protecting your business interests.

Confidentiality, incentives and business protection 

Our advice includes bonuses, LTIPs, carried interest, malus and clawback provisions, regulatory and internal investigations, negotiating exits, garden leave arrangements, Employment Tribunal claims and restrictive covenant advice.

We advise both businesses and individuals on confidentiality obligations, incentive arrangements and business protection issues, particularly where senior employees, valuable client relationships or team moves are involved.

We take a pragmatic, commercial approach focused on protecting value, managing risk and enabling transitions without unnecessary conflict.

But what about when things are going right? You still need an experienced, steady hand to guide you through all sorts of employment law issues, from contracts and service agreements, incentive plans, policies and procedures to setting up and administering a wide range of employee share schemes, each tailored to your specific requirements and industry sector.

In an increasingly international working world, we help with cross-border recruitment and secondment. We support businesses through the complexities of mergers and re-organisations, including transferring contracts under TUPE regulations. And we advise on legislative requirements around equality and discrimination, helping to draft practical policies and mediate disputes.

A practical and trusted approach 

Across all our employment law services, we deliver clear advice, pragmatic solutions and robust representation, tailored to the realities of each client’s situation.
