Employment Litigation
Even the most considerate employers occasionally find themselves in litigation involving an Employment Tribunal or Court. All employers have an interest in minimising the risk of such an event.
To support employers we provide:
Expert specialist employment law advice and support.
- Access to a multi-disciplinary team of solicitors and barristers experienced in handling all types of employment litigation from high profile and complex
discrimination, TUPE, whistle-blowing and bullying claims to redundancy and unfair dismissal. - Confident leadership, guiding you through the litigation process with full information, preparation and support.
- A complete, start-to-finish service, from initial advice and case preparation to high calibre advocacy at Tribunal and an action plan to avoid recurrence.
- Top ‘City firm’ specialist employment lawyers at regional prices
Our approach:
- Solution-driven: we will never tell you what you shouldn’t do without also advising you of an alternative strategy and guiding you through its implementation. We are “can do” not “don’t do” in our approach to employment law.
- Strategic: our wealth of experience is such that we know where the pitfalls and opportunities lie. This enables us to look ahead, devising practical litigation strategies to cover immediate and longer-term issues, opportunities and risks.
- Pragmatic: we have a reputation for appreciating the commercial position of our clients and its implications. Again, this helps us to provide more rounded advice which serves our clients’ longer-term interests whilst minimising costly and time-consuming litigation.
- Straightforward: we want to impress you only with our results. So, within the context of a serious business, we keep the jargon and formalities to a minimum.
- Transparent: we are open, enthusiastic professionals who want to learn about you and your organisation’s needs. As innovators in our legal practice, we are always prepared to look at new ways of working with you, especially where it might help to resolve your disputes in a way that fits your ‘bigger picture’.
