Senior Executives
Russell Jones & Walker advises senior executives and company directors working for national and international organisations on the employment law issues relevant to them.
"Setting the benchmark for representing employees is this respected national player, which earned consistent praise for its representation of trade unions and, increasingly, senior executives in employment litigation." Chambers and Partners, 2007 edition
The increasingly complex nature of employment legislation means that both senior executives and directors of companies require individual advice on their business affairs, in order to protect their personal interests.
The professional's choice
We are considered the professional's choice when acting for vice presidents and directors, senior managers, bankers, solicitors, in house lawyers, stockbrokers, chartered accountants and others. Other firms of solicitors and accountants recommend us to their clients, and we find we are also individually instructed by their partners and staff.
Our team is experienced in negotiating favourable packages at the commencement of employment and high value settlements with compromise agreements when employment is wrongfully terminated. We have extensive experience advising on the enforceability of all forms of restrictive covenants and have successfully run many claims in respect of discretionary bonuses. We advise employees undergoing disciplinary procedures, and protect the position of whistleblowers in city institutions.
We have a proven track record of successfully acting against even the largest of employers. Unlike other firms, we act only for employees. We know the tactics used by employers and their lawyers and have the necessary experience and technical expertise to anticipate and successfully deal with them.
"'Head and shoulders' above the competition, this
applicant-focused firm offers a broad scope of work, acting for
industrial, public and private sector workers and senior executives."
Chambers and Partners, 2006 edition
We are the number one firm of choice for any senior executive, and our commitment to act exclusively for employees sets us apart from any competition within this field.
