Our team
We are one of a relatively small number of employment law teams that is highly recommended in The Legal 500 (2022). The independent directory especially praises partners Alex Bearman and Anthony Sakrouge. Commentators say our "team is knowledgeable, responsive and has ensured completion of all activities in a timely manner."
- Anthony Sakrouge "is a sensational business partner, applying a deep understanding of the law with practical application to ensure the best possible outcome" (2022)
- According to one commentator, Alex Bearman's "judgment is excellent. In a difficult case he has been able to cut to the heart of the key points."
- our employment team "delivers appropriate and measured advice that gives clients confidence in its ability" (2019)
- Russell-Cooke's department provides "prompt and carefully thought-through advice" (2017)
- We are a six-strong team of specialist employment lawyers.
- We act for employers of all sizes in all sectors. We are equally happy offering a thorough review of a business's policies or drafting a one-off contract.
- Our rates are competitive. If you ask us to draft documents, we will normally be able to agree a fixed fee in advance.
