We act for individuals across various sectors, including financial, legal and other professional services and understand how costly and distracting employment claims can become. Employment litigation can unfold publicly in a cost-neutral forum, while still consuming valuable time and money, with reputational risk.

At Fox & Partners, we understand the high personal and professional stakes of Employment Tribunal proceedings. For senior executives and founders, these disputes can affect reputation, finances, and future career prospects. We bring clarity and strategic focus, working closely with you to navigate complexity and achieve your objectives.

Our advice is tailored, commercially driven, and sensitive to wider risks and considerations, including data rights, reputational concerns, and regulatory exposure. We help you assess when to stand firm and when a confidential, cost-effective resolution is in your best interests.

Where disputes cannot be resolved without litigation, our team of specialist litigators can advise on bringing and defending claims including:

• 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)
• Founder and boardroom disputes
• 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

We advise on the legal and tactical landscape at every stage of claims – from initial concerns and internal processes through to litigation and resolution.

Our invaluable dual experience acting for both employers and individuals means we understand how businesses think. We anticipate their legal strategies and pressure points, giving you a powerful advantage in negotiations and through the tribunal process.

Our aim is simple: to deliver reliable, accurate, expert, and effective representation when it matters most.
