Employment
Helping you navigate the complexities of a modern workforce
Businesses are responding to shifting workplace expectations, a multi-generational workforce, rising employment claims volumes, additional risks created by artificial intelligence (AI) and increasing regulatory obligations. Our employment lawyers can help your business prosper through results-focused, tailored people strategies.
We understand the importance of a positive workplace environment, where employees are highly valued and regulatory compliance and risk mitigation are prioritised. We support human resources executives, general counsel and their teams, boards and their chairs and other stakeholders on all general advisory, transactional and contentious employment issues.
Our comprehensive employment expertise spans the full lifecycle of employment issues. Our team advises clients on employment contracts and contractor agreements and termination of employment and engagement, settlement of sensitive, high profile and reputationally damaging claims, executive renumeration, the enforcement of restrictive covenants, team moves, investigations, discrimination, whistleblowing, management of contingent labour forces, trade union matters, unfair dismissal and bullying and harassment claims.
We handle employee data breaches, the misuse of confidential information and regulatory non-financial misconduct. Our employment disputes lawyers guide clients through mediation, specialist employment tribunal proceedings and superior court litigation. We also handle the employment aspects of mergers and acquisitions, restructurings and reorganisations, collective and individual redundancies, outsourcing and industry consolidations.
