Employment law is dynamic and we are lawyers who understand the rapidly-changing world of human resources. We tackle “people problems” creatively, from every angle, knowing the delicate nature of employment issues which often create the most important decisions a company has to take. Our aim is to make the law work for you, not against you. We will take developing and intellectual legal concepts and apply them pragmatically, with a touch of common sense, to create workable business principles.
We cover all aspects of employment law – from advisory and transactional matters to contentious issues, and have specialists who understand the challenges of key industries such as TMC, life sciences, banking and financial services, energy, transportation and so on. Our clients range from public to private sector employers, from multinational groups to small companies and a whole range of trustees. We also regularly act for C-suite and senior executives on a variety of complex matters.
