Employment & Labor Law.
Hiring, firing, contracts, disputes — the law of the workplace, handled for employers and employees alike. We keep policies defensible and exits clean, stepping in early so a personnel problem never becomes a courtroom one, in step with our dispute resolution colleagues.
400+Workplace matters resolved for employers and employees
85%Of disputes settled before reaching a tribunal
48hStandard response window on urgent injunctions
Overview
Workplace problems are people problems before they are legal ones. You will know your exposure, your options, and the cost of each path before you commit — in plain words, from the very first meeting.
Contracts and handbooks, discipline and dismissal, discrimination and harassment claims, collective bargaining and union relations. We draft for the employer who wants to stay out of court, and we litigate for the employee who has been left no other door.
Where employment matters cross borders — secondments, expatriate contracts, multinational restructures — our London headquarters and associated counsel in Singapore plug in under one instruction, so the people side of a deal never lags behind the corporate side.
