Our employment law barristers offer specialist advice and representation to employees and employers in all areas of employment law. Clients tell us they instruct us for our commercial, competitive and practical approach.
Many of our employment law barristers are qualified for direct public access – so can be instructed by individuals without going through a solicitor.
Within our team, we also have outstanding accredited mediators with experience across a wide range of employment-related disputes.
