We advise from the earliest signs of a dispute, helping businesses manage risk, shape strategy, and often avoid escalation. Where litigation is unavoidable, we manage the process end to end, representing employers in the Employment Tribunals, High Court, and appellate courts.

We act for businesses across various sectors and understand how employment claims, particularly those involving senior executives or regulated professionals, can be costly and disruptive. Employment litigation can unfold publicly in a cost-neutral forum, while still consuming valuable time, money and internal resources, with reputational risk.

We provide strategic and responsive guidance to help you move forward with confidence. By working closely with regulatory advisers, we’re able to deliver a holistic approach, tailored to your needs.

We are known for helping businesses strike the right balance by understanding when to take a firm stand and when a confidential, cost-effective resolution is in your best interest. We understand that protecting reputation and managing financial risk are often priorities for both sides.

We have extensive experience advising on:

• Unfair and wrongful dismissal (including constructive dismissal)
• All forms of discrimination across all protected characteristics (pregnancy and maternity, disability, age, race, religion and belief, sexual orientation, sex, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership)
• Breach of contract, restrictive covenants, and confidentiality
• Inducement of breach of contract and conspiracy claims
• Breach of fiduciary duty and team moves
• Whistleblowing
• Bonus and incentive disputes
• Breaches of grievance procedures and reputationally sensitive exits
• Applications for, or defence of, injunctive relief

Many of the disputes we handle are complex, high-value, and high-profile. Clients value us as a trusted extension of their leadership team, offering focused, responsive support to achieve the best possible outcome
