Employment dispute resolution

It is inevitable that disputes within the workplace will arise from time to time, and the employment team has a strong record of bringing such matters to a successful conclusion.

Our approach is to work closely with the client, making sure that a clear strategy is in place at the outset so as to ensure that the matter is dealt with in a commercial, cost-effective and timely manner.

Our areas of expertise include:

Strategic advice with a view to avoiding disputes
Dismissal and grievance processes
Negotiating compromise agreements and settlements
Mediation

Employment Tribunal litigation, including:
- Wrongful dismissal/breach of contract claims
- Unfair dismissal claims
- Discrimination claims
Employment-related County and High-Court proceedings
Injunction proceedings

Whilst the employment team has substantial advocacy experience, we also work closely with a number of barristers so as to ensure excellent representation during any hearings.

Our recent experience includes:

Negotiating the exit of a Chief Executive Officer and senior board members of a PLC
Defending a complex unlawful deduction of wages claim affecting around 1,000 staff
Defending an investment company on threatened injunction proceedings brought in relation to a high profile new hire
Dealing with a grievance brought concerning sex and race by an HR Director
Defending a class action arising from a collective redundancy exercise
Defending a business-critical equal pay claim
Dealing with a complex breach of contract and misrepresentation claim concerning complex bonus arrangements
Defending high-profile unfair dismissal and sex discrimination proceedings
