Our focus is you

The termination of a director or senior executive can be a critical event for any organisation. Our lawyers have the skills and experience to guide the employer through this process, helping it make appropriate offers to attract the right talent, as well as informed tactical decisions in relation to any termination.

We appreciate the need for advance planning and analysis, prompt and pragmatic advice and the right balance of sensitivity and resilience in negotiations, all combined with a thorough understanding of corporate documents and underlying company law.

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.

Our employment team are ranked highly in the top legal directories that include Chambers and Partners (Band 1) and Legal 500 (Tier 1), whilst the firm is also recognised as a Leading Firm in both directories.

We have offices in London and across the South East including Gatwick and Crawley, Hassocks, Horsham, Brighton and Guildford.

Please note that visits to our office is by appointment only. If you wish to contact one of our employment solicitors you can do via our online enquiry form.
