Employment

Our employment team has acted for listed companies, owner managed businesses and senior executives spanning the private, public and third sectors.

We offer clients a broad and deep knowledge base with decisive, pragmatic, innovative advice tailored to their needs. We fully appreciate that employers want to attract and retain the best talent possible. Our clients’ objectives are the most important thing – we listen to them and work with them to develop a strategy and fee arrangement in line with those objectives. We don’t over engineer solutions, and don’t believe that ‘one size fits all’.

We offer bespoke fee arrangements to ensure cost effective solutions, including fixed fee retainers and contingency fees. Our genuine ‘one team’ approach means that we work closely with our dispute resolution team where a client’s needs dictates, e.g. in the enforcement of restrictive covenants and shareholder disputes.
