About: Employment
Our employment lawyers act for employers and employees, so we see both sides of workplace issues. This is unusual among City law firms. It means we understand the strategies and tactics commonly used by either side, and can make that knowledge work for you. Our team is consistently recognised as Top Tier in the Legal 500 and Chambers and Partners Directories including the 2024 editions, described as “a highly skilled and experienced team that understand what is required. They have a range of experience in many different, varied and complex areas.” (Chambers 2024). Our clients benefit from this breadth of experience we have developed, advising a wide range of organisations across the UK.
Clients include public limited organisations, leading financial and regulatory bodies, family offices, global PR and media, City law firms, Inns of Court, hedge funds and private equity firms, partnerships, senior executives and employees.
This diverse client base gives us the experience and knowledge to provide informed and commercial solutions to achieve the best results for you.
Clients trust us to provide astute commercial solutions. Whatever the method – whether through mediation, arbitration, High Court hearings or employment tribunal proceedings – our employment team combines determination and intelligence to deliver the best possible outcome.

If you are an employer, we will take the time to understand your business and your market.
