Employment & Discrimination Experience

Our employment & discrimination barristers are at the forefront of developments in various areas of employment law, including: equal pay, working time and holiday pay, disability discrimination and whistleblowing. A number of members are appointed to the Attorney Generals list of approved counsel and act for Government departments in employment matters.

We have unrivalled crossover expertise in key related areas, including; pensions, financial services, security vetting, partnership and regulatory law.

We prioritise commercial sensitivities in litigation and advisory work concerning business protection and employees rights, and provide advice and expertise in mediation, arbitration and other methods of alternative dispute resolution.
