Our employment solicitors have a extensive experience of advising clients in various sectors on terminating employment contracts for senior members of their organisation.
We also act for senior executives in relation to severance agreements in both the private and public sectors.
In the public and third sectors, experience from our leading public sector practice gives us a clear understanding of employment disputes in the context of the exercise of statutory powers.
We have offices in London and across the South East including Gatwick and Crawley, Hassocks, Horsham, Brighton and Guildford.
