Employment Law

Experts in Employment Law

Our award-winning employment lawyers have a national reputation. We are independently recognised as one of the UK's leading employment teams. Our large team of highly experienced and skilled solicitors, based in our London, Cardiff and Manchester offices, is dedicated to providing prompt, practical and authoritative advice to all employees. Our standing is confirmed by our solo top-tier ranking achieved in the professional directories, and the range of awards we have won for our employment services.  

Our Expert Employment Solicitors

We have experience in every aspect of employment law, but our solicitors are also specialists within individual practice areas, including some who are nationally recognised as leaders in their fields. While outwardly we may be best known for our high-profile litigation work, our strength for many clients is achieving resolution through confidential settlements. We are skilled in advising employees on how to manage and resolve problems both independently, and through our assistance in mediation and alternative dispute resolution procedures.

While we have worked on many leading and precedent-setting cases, everyone we represent, from the highest ranking senior executives to the most junior of staff, receives the best legal representation and the highest level of consideration and care at all times. We also aim to keep costs as manageable as possible throughout the course of our work for you.

Our innovative and rounded approach to employment law includes a number of value-added services such as Executive Reps, which provides representatives for workplace hearings to non-unionised staff, and EqualityXpress, our online discrimination enquiry form service.
