We have the strength and expertise of a City firm, but unlike the majority of City law firms as well as acting for employers we act for individuals, particularly in claims against the major banks and city institutions where our lawyers' unique insight into the culture, practice and business of financial services (borne out of having litigated in the banking sector for many years) sets us apart.

Our lawyers act in all forms of employment, partnership and LLP members' disputes.

We also provide a full advisory service which covers a wide range of areas including reviewing and advising on employment and consultancy contracts for companies and for individuals, advising on post-termination restrictions in employment contracts and share plans and advising on compromise agreements.

Whilst many employment lawyers rarely see the inside of a tribunal room or court, our lawyers are experienced litigators and so the advice we give you is informed by knowledge and instinct for the dynamics of litigation.

The department has particular focus on claims arising out of:

- discrimination
- constructive dismissal
- bonus disputes
- staff wanting to leave to join a competitor
- businesses that are being sold or outsourced; and
- employees voicing concerns about malpractice

We offer competitive rates and are innovative in relation to legal costs. We work with our clients to achieve the best possible outcome whilst minimising legal costs. We provide regular, detailed and transparent billing as well as costs estimates and budgets.

Our lawyers have dealt with numerous high value and high profile cases and are experienced in dealing with the media ensuring that we manage our clients' reputational issues.

We are focused upon achieving the best solution for our clients. This goes beyond legal analysis and often requires consideration of wider practical and strategic issues. We are proactive in seeking negotiated solutions, but will not hesitate in taking decisive legal action when our clients' situation demands it.
