Expertise
Employment & Discrimination
Members of Chambers represent both employers and employees; directors, local authorities, public bodies and trade unions; frequently appearing in the Employment Tribunals, the Employment Appeal Tribunal and the Court of Appeal. We are known for our pragmatic and commercial approach inside and outside the courtroom.
We believe in being part of the legal team acting as both advocates and advisers across the full range of contentious and non-contentious employment work (including drafting bespoke contracts of employment). Our clients range from individual employees, directors, SMEs to major private and public sector organisations.
We understand that employment disputes can be commercially and personally sensitive and therefore our barristers are used to handling issues with discretion. We recognise that our clients have diverse requirements, often needing swift action in order to restrain wrongdoing and contain sensitive information. Our team is able to provide assistance in respect of injunctions, often at short notice and out of hours.
