On the employee side, you’ll advise senior professionals on complex issues including grievances, disciplinary actions, performance management, discrimination, whistleblowing, and high-stakes litigation in both the Employment Tribunal and High Court.
For employer clients—ranging from household names in tech, retail, and pharma to major financial institutions—you’ll provide strategic counsel on day-to-day HR matters, contracts and policies, reorganisations, and business transfers.
