Employment - commercial

Our lawyers are personable and approachable, each providing straightforward, user-friendly and commercial advice.

Examples of our work include:

• Dealing with the employment aspects of the sale of a business by a PLC. This included advising on an internal re-organisation undertaken pre-sale and negotiating employment aspects of the sale agreement.
• Supporting a large publishing client in relation to the closure of two of its offices. This involved a TUPE transfer and redundancies. We also advised our client on strategic considerations, including messaging to other employees about the office closures.
• Advising a life sciences business on a complex claim of unfair dismissal and disability discrimination brought by an employee who resigned when faced with a potential disciplinary in relation to unsafe working practices.
• Acting for a retailer in its decoupling from a multinational group across many jurisdictions. This was a complex matter involving advice on dismissals, reorganisations, TUPE and sensitive consultation issues.

We have a vibrant and diverse commercial practice with clients based across the United Kingdom and overseas.

We act for businesses ranging from UK PLCs, SMEs, MSBs, multinationals and start-ups across many different sectors including automotive, food and agribusiness, life sciences, mid-market, owner-managed businesses, sport and technology.
