Our employment team is recognised for its commercial, personable approach, and practical, strategic advice. The leading legal directories describe our barristers as“personal and methodical”, “unflappable and calm”, and “amazing in very difficult and delicate hearings”.

We advise across the full spectrum of employment law, including unfair and wrongful dismissal, discrimination, whistleblowing and redundancy, as well as workplace bullying, stress at work and psychiatric injury claims. Our work also covers issues of worker status, equality & diversity, parental rights, injunctive relief, restraint of trade and confidential information, restrictive covenants, and health and safety in the workplace, including claims arising out of Covid-related circumstances.

Our barristers assist with internal workplace processes, including restructuring and redundancy consultations, grievance and disciplinary investigations, and the negotiation and drafting of settlement agreements. Members are regularly instructed throughout the lifespan of a case, from drafting pleadings and advising on strategy, to appearing in the Employment Tribunal, EAT, and higher appellate courts.

Our employment expertise is complemented by our recognised strength in personal injury, particularly in cases involving occupational stress and psychiatric injury. We also draw on our experience in professional discipline and regulation, commercial law, civil fraud and insurance, providing clients with seamless support where practice areas overlap.

Our clients include individual employees, trade unions, SMEs, and multinational corporations, spanning sectors such as aviation, technology, pharmaceuticals, insurance, healthcare, retail, and gaming, as well as local government and regulatory bodies.
