Employment Lawyers for Employees

Senior roles demand robust contractual terms. We regularly advise directors, consultants, and senior professionals on the drafting and negotiation of employment contracts, director service agreements and consultancy agreements, including remuneration, duties, termination provisions, restrictive covenants, and liability issues, ensuring your position is protected from the outset.

If you are reviewing workplace policies or terms referenced in your contract, we can advise on their enforceability and ensure they align with your legal rights and industry standards – this is particularly important in regulated or senior-level environments.

Whether you've been offered a settlement agreement or are considering seeking one, we provide swift, discreet advice to protect your legal position and reputation. We have particular expertise in negotiating high-value exits, often involving complex share options or post-termination restrictions.

We advise on the enforceability and commercial impact of restrictive covenants, including non-compete, non-solicitation, and confidentiality clauses. If you're moving to a new role or facing a dispute with a former employer, we can help clarify your obligations and protect your interests.

If you are involved in a grievance or disciplinary process, we can support you in drafting formal responses, attending internal hearings, or negotiating an exit where appropriate. We focus on safeguarding your position and minimising reputational risk.

We act for professionals facing discrimination in the workplace, whether on the grounds of sex, race, age, disability, religion, or other protected characteristics and advise on bringing internal complaints or pursuing Employment Tribunal claims where necessary.

If you've raised concerns about wrongdoing at work and are facing retaliation or dismissal, we offer confidential advice on your legal protections and potential claims. We also support clients in regulated sectors where disclosures may involve professional or reputational risk.

When a business changes hands or is restructured, employees may be transferred under TUPE. We help senior employees understand their rights, challenge unfair changes, and navigate complex contract and benefit structures.

We represent individuals in claims for unfair dismissal, breach of contract, whistleblowing and complex discrimination. We'll assess the strength of your claim, advise on prospects and costs, and guide you through every stage of the process.

We advise on share schemes, including EMI, growth shares, and EOT arrangements, as well as their impact on your exit, post-termination rights, and financial entitlements. We regularly review employer documentation to ensure clarity, compliance and protection of your interests.
