We also advise senior executives and professionals in all aspects of the employment relationship. We have established a reputation for providing timely responses and pragmatic, cost-effective solutions.

A number of our highly regarded teams are ranked in the top tier for employment in the Legal 500 and Top Ranked by Chambers & Partners and many of our employment lawyers are ranked as recommended lawyers / leading individuals in these publications.

The team benefits from having their own dedicated Professional Skills Employment Lawyer who supports the team with business development, technical training, and complex employment law matters and in addition a specialist in house Counsel to support in delivering excellent client advice and care.

All of our lawyers benefit from flexible working arrangements, a supportive leadership team and access to cutting-edge legal tech.

We trust our people to work flexibly in the way that works best for them, their teams and our clients. Our firm is set up to ensure everyone’s voice is heard, and mutual respect is shown by all. We’re widely recognised for our inclusive attitude and diversity, winning ‘Firm of the Year’ at the UK Diversity Legal Awards and we have achieved Silver in the Investors in People Award.
