Our Team
We are highly recommended for employment law by the legal directory Legal 500, which noted in its most recent edition that our employment team is "'more alive to the issues' than some competitors, and a regular opponent of heavyweight firms'" and that "The firm is 'excellent value for money', and delivers 'superb client care'" (Legal 500, 2012).
- We are a six-strong team of specialist employment lawyers with a wide range of experience. We also work closely with our colleagues in other departments of the firm to provide practical and comprehensive advice which is focused on the individual needs and circumstances of our client.
- Cases we have dealt with have included a case involving two employees who were sued for the return of seven figure bonuses until the case against them collapsed, and another involving an employee who lost her permanent health insurance when her employment was terminated and eventually received compensation of several thousand pounds.
- We understand that bringing a claim against an employer is stressful and provide appropriate support to employees through what can be a difficult process.
- The legal costs of many of our clients are covered by legal expense insurance, which is often included with household and motor insurance policies.
