Our approach is to avoid litigation wherever possible and we offer alternative forms of dispute resolution such as mediation. We will always explore the alternatives to litigation with you but where alternatives aren't possible, we will fight your corner fiercely.
Our expertise
We regularly handle high value and complex claims such as discrimination, whistleblowing, equal pay, and protective award claims together with unfair and wrongful dismissal and unlawful deductions from wages. We are also well known for handling cases involving post termination restrictive covenants, breaches of confidentiality and team moves including injunctive relief.

Our team is made up of experienced lawyers from our employment group who have a successful track record in employment tribunals and the higher courts and always go the extra mile to get the right result.
We act for employers from organisations of all sizes ranging from SMEs to multinationals, as well as employees – particularly senior executives and directors.
