Employment, Engagement & Equality

Legal expertise and strategic support for the future of work.

Overview

Our expert counsel will lead you through the involved complexities of employment law across markets and sectors, including reflecting our firm's focus tech, retail, insurance and professional services.

Our advice goes beyond knowing the law (though we know that exceedingly well): it's about helping businesses and their leaders strategically and successfully navigate the dynamics of today's and tomorrow's work. We advise on employment rights and workplace ecosystems, including as influenced by group and individual behaviours, engagement, and communication. We understand that though the law plays an important part in any solution so does an appreciation of the current and future regulatory, political, social and technological environment.

We believe in and seek to foster successful partnerships with those we work with. The skills, thinking and expertise of our team allows us to find answers to matters from complex litigation to inclusive diversity strategies. Our focus is about your success, achieving your goals.

As a firm, we embrace diversity and the value of every individual's contribution, underpinning our own ethos of blending curiosity with wisdom. Over the years, we have built strong connections with representative bodies for industry, social purpose think tanks, and public sector bodies. We believe that knowledge and understanding is not found in one place; many of the best answers are found at the intersection of different thoughts and a willingness to challenge the orthodoxy. We look to create and share ideas.

By being receptive to different ideas and distilling those into deliverable solutions, we will help you, anticipate challenges, seize opportunities and, most importantly, manage operational and organisational risk. Together, we will create your success.
