Contracts and entitlements for individuals

We are one of a relatively small number of employment law teams that is highly recommended in The Legal 500 (2023).

Our team is praised for their expertise, client service and personal manner. Clients note the team's "excellent client focus" and "client care, they are happy to discuss matters and think of commercial solutions."

We are a six-strong team of specialist employment lawyers with experience over the whole field of employment law, including high-profile employment cases with media interest.

Matters we have dealt with recently include possible team moves from one bank to another (involving complex issues to do with restrictive covenants, confidentiality and fidelity), comparing and structuring packages to ensure high level employees receive proper compensation for any contingent benefits they will lose as the result of a move, negotiations to reduce the risk of employees receiving disappointing discretionary bonuses, as well very routine enquiries about the meaning and effect of standard terms.

We tailor our advice to suit your needs. For example, we can give one-off advice on a single term of your contract or we can represent you throughout an entire negotiating process with your new employer.

We balance an accurate analysis of the legal issues with commercial experience to give you the best chance of securing a satisfactory employment contract with minimal fuss.

We regularly act for employers as well as employees, so we have a good insight into the employer's perspective when drafting and negotiating a contract of employment.
