“We are alone in consultant-led employment practices by having an experienced core of employed solicitors at the heart of the firm (our “A team”) who support our consultant-led partner with their practices. This enables us to field a range of very senior as well as junior lawyers to meet client demands (however big or small the instruction). We will always invest in the careers of our lawyers, whatever their professional needs.”

“It is this blend of experience, depth and agility which sets us apart from other firms. We will continue to hire highly rated employment and regulatory lawyers to further develop our offering to clients and partners.”
