Employment & Workplace Law
The workplace
is not a
neutral space.
We act for executives, employees and employers in the disputes, exits and investigations that decide how an organisation actually behaves.

Practice
Where the working
relationship is decided.
01 — 04
That rule decides which instructions we take, and it is why executives and employers both call us. Conflicts are screened before a first conversation, not after it.
Conflicts
Screened before first contact
Urgent matters
Same-day response on injunctive relief

People
The team that pitches
is the team that acts.
A partner runs your matter from the first call to the final order. No pitch team, no hand-down, and nobody learning on your file.
Process
Conflict check
We screen before we speak.
We act for executives and for employers, so the check runs across both sides of the market before a first conversation — not after you have told us something you cannot take back.
Turnaround
Same day
Scope
Group companies, board and advisers
Process
The first 48 hours
A position, before a filing.
Contract, correspondence and conduct read in full, then a written view on exposure and the realistic range of outcomes. Nothing is issued until you have it in front of you.
Delivered
Within 48 hours
Written by
The partner on your matter
Process
Negotiation
Built as though it will be heard.
Most matters resolve without a tribunal. They resolve because the file was prepared as if they would not — disclosure straight, witnesses tested, quantum evidenced.
Resolved before hearing

Process
Resolution
Signed, or heard.
A settlement agreement or a hearing, run by the partner who took the first call. There is no hand-off at the point a matter becomes difficult.
Continuity
One partner, start to finish
Afterwards
Covenants, references and re-entry
Plain terms
What we will tell you
that others will not.
Usually answered the same working day
Proof
Outcomes we can
point to.
Instructed by
Group restructure
Roles consulted and closed in nine weeks, with no claim issued.
Resolution
Of matters concluded without reaching a final hearing since 2011.
Next step
Start with a
conversation,
not a retainer.
Send us the letter, the contract, or just the timeline as you remember it. We will read it, tell you where you stand, and put the options in writing before you owe us anything.
What happens next
01
Conflict check first — usually within the hour, always before we talk.
02
Thirty minutes with the partner who would run it. No intake team.
03
A written position, with a number on it, inside 48 hours.
