The team represents senior executives before, during and after the employment relationship; at each stage we discuss with clients their objectives, the ‘art of the possible’ and how to get to there, offering early strategic advice.

We frequently form ‘long standing’ relationships with our senior executives and are reinstructed by them on the occasion of any move or issues arising at work.

We have vast litigation experience and routinely act for senior executives in high value complex claims in both the Employment Tribunal and/or the High Court.

However we also understand that litigation is not always the objective and that the best resolution can include a desire to resolve the issues arising whilst preserving the employment relationship. In those circumstances, we provide considered strategic advice to achieve that objective whilst at the same time, protecting our clients’ position for the future should preservation of the relationship not prove to be possible in the longer term.

Where matters become more contentious we offer a responsive, strategic and commercial service and are highly specialised in raising your concerns effectively to negotiate appropriate exit terms, which will include wider issues than simply the compensation that will be paid.

We are recognised as leaders in this field, ranked in both the Chambers and Legal 500 legal directories with recognition as ‘Notable Practitioners’ for our senior executive work.

What we do best:

Disability discrimination
We have a depth of experience in assisting Senior Executives in managing burnout and stress and similar issues which frequently arise within the workplace. Our primary aim is usually to help facilitate better management of the issues by the employer but where that is not possible, we advise on appropriate exit terms.
Exits
We are frequently asked to advise individuals on exit to include tailored advice on exit terms and how to achieve the desired outcome in both regulated and unregulated sectors.
Advice and Prosecution of claims
Were there has been a breakdown in the working relationship we work with our clients to identify the claims, assert them, seek settlement and where that does not achieve the required outcome, we will help our clients prosecute their claims either in the Employment Tribunal or the High Court.
