Employment, labour and benefits

Our clients cross various business sectors, including banking and finance, recruitment, professional services, education, healthcare and media. This diversity gives us the advantage when assessing the needs of your business and providing employment advice and services.

We work closely with our clients to produce suitable documentation and to guide them through this ever more complex area of law. We offer both a contentious and non-contentious service.

Our non-contentious team can provide you with HR advice and bespoke suites of employment documentation such as staff handbooks, policies and procedures.

Our contentious team can advise on redundancies and transfers, both small-scale and collective, dealing with grievances and disciplinary issues as well as claims, obtaining injunctive relief for the misuse of confidential information and breaches of post-termination restrictions, and Court actions.

We assist local and foreign corporates with all aspects of labour and employment law concerns, such as day-to-day labour and immigration law issues, social security, hirings, terminations and layoffs, compensation arrangements, wages and stock option schemes, and negotiations with trade unions.

Our expertise extends to assisting our transactional counterparts with the labour aspects of M&A, joint ventures and corporate reorganisations. Our dispute resolution expertise ensures that we are regularly involved in contentious proceedings before national labour courts, labour appellate tribunals, and other forums.

The presence of specialist employment lawyers across our international network of offices ensures that we are well placed to advise on specific local issues, as well as coordinate cross-border advice and handle the labour aspects of multijurisdictional transactions.
