I advise employers on mitigating employment law risk. I take a pragmatic approach; what does the business need to achieve and how can we best get there to minimise cost and disruption. I am used to working closely with clients’ employment law and HR teams. I am experienced in advising employers on:• resolving difficult grievances; • conducting disciplinary processes;• restructure and redundancy exercises;• negotiated exits;• boardroom disputes;• defending discrimination and whistle blowing cases;• TUPE issues on business acquisitions and outsourcings of every type;• restrictive covenant drafting and enforcement;• bonus issues including issues surrounding the remuneration codes;• employment law ramifications of the Senior Managers Regime;• dignity at work and harassment training;• employment law issues of every type arising on corporate transactions.I have particular experience of advising banks and other financial institutions, but advise employers of every type.I also advise senior employees and executives looking to secure exit on most favourable terms, to understand the impact of restrictive covenants or otherwise to defend their position during restructure programmes or following disciplinary allegations.
