Working With our Leading Team of Employment Law Solicitors in Reading, Henley-on-Thames & Wokingham
Based nationally, our clients include businesses and organisations of all shapes and sizes, across a wide range of sectors. This includes corporations and UK subsidiaries, large private companies including family and owner-managed businesses, charities and not for profit organisations, universities and schools, local authorities, town and parish councils, landowners and developers and venue and event operators. The annual turnover of these organisations ranges from under £5 million to over £100 million.
Typically, we work closely with chief executives, business owners and directors, and the relevant experts in their teams, whether that is in HR, finance, legal, operations or commercial areas. We also regularly provide training and guidance to boards of directors, trustees and governors.
As members of the Law Firm Network, a global network of 50 law firms, we can advise international clients, including UK subsidiaries of multinational companies, who are investing in the UK, as well refer clients based in the UK to like-minded lawyers overseas.
Naturally, we are also experienced in advising employees on all aspects of Employment Law, with a particular emphasis on senior executives and managers, meaning that we have an in-depth understanding of the issues that can arise and how to successfully address them from both an employer and employee’s perspective.
The full range of expertise across our firm means that we can also advise business owners, directors and managers on private client matters, where relevant.
Trusted Expertise & Experience in Employment Law
Many of our clients have trusted us to provide legal advice and support throughout the lifetimes of their businesses; in some cases for decades and across generations. We are equally well versed in stepping in at a crucial moment for you and your organisation, whether you are seizing an opportunity, restructuring, or tackling an urgent dispute.
Handled badly, Employment disputes can involve significant time and expense and potentially damage your operations, professional relationships and even your reputation. But it does not have to be that way. Solicitors in our specialist Employment Law team can work proactively with you to identify and address risk within your business or organisation and help to reduce the likelihood of a dispute arising in the future.
If a dispute unfortunately does occur, we will work closely with you to understand the issue, how you would like it handled and to achieve the best possible outcome.
Whilst we are highly experienced in pursuing and defending commercial disputes through litigation, we recognise the demands that unresolved disputes can place on you and your organisation and will work to help you avoid the need for litigation and court proceedings where possible. Unlike many firms of solicitors, we routinely represent our clients at Employment Tribunals, working closely with barristers when required. Experience has shown that end to end conduct of an employment dispute results in a more favourable result.
Our extensive expertise and experience in acting for businesses and other organisations is recognised in the UK’s foremost guides to law firms, Chambers UK Guide and The Legal 500. Our successful approach and lasting professional relationships are evident in the excellent feedback that our clients kindly continue to share, so you can be confident that you and your business are in the very best hands when it comes to legal advice.
