"Their ability to put themselves in their clients' shoes sets them apart."
Chambers UK
Our employment solicitors act for a broad range of employers including entrepreneurial start-ups, well established public companies and professional services firms.
We also focus our practice on representing senior executives and board directors, LLP members and partners, entrepreneurs, and high profile public figures.
We help employers to protect their business interests – including their client base, confidential information and professional reputation – achieve their commercial objectives and manage their workforce effectively.
We assist our senior executive clients to understand their legal rights and duties, and to maximise their financial entitlements. We put them in the strongest possible position to enforce those rights successfully, whether through negotiation, mediation or litigation.
We support our clients every step of the way. This will allow you to concentrate on running your business, or drawing a line under any employment or partnership dispute and moving forward with your professional reputation and career on track, safe in the knowledge that we will remove as much of the pressure from you as possible. We know what it takes to achieve the best possible result for you or your business, taking into account your goals and priorities.
Our employment lawyers specialise in complex employment and partnership matters with high stakes. We explain the legal implications of employment and partnership issues clearly and concisely. Drawing on many years of experience, and our commercial and strategic expertise, we help our clients to resolve sensitive disputes creatively, and deliver results in line with their commercial or personal objectives.
Our clients' best interests drive everything that we do. We build long-lasting client relationships and always put our clients first.
Whilst we are employment specialists, we regularly build cross departmental teams to deliver a seamless client service, for example in matters that require the involvement of Kingsley Napley’s immigration, corporate/commercial, criminal and regulatory teams.
"They are an outstanding firm and provide superb service; they are a genuine class act."
