Hello, I’m Tiggy Clifford, co-founder of multi award-winning employment law firm Torque Law LLP.Emma Whiting and I set up Torque Law in 2016 with the aim of doing things a bit differently. We wanted to guarantee our clients the excellent technical knowledge and expertise they’d come to expect from us but combine it with a deep understanding of their businesses, so we could shape our service delivery around their needs.Turns out, that wasn’t such a bad plan! Skip forward a few years and we are now the proud leaders of the largest employment law team in York & North Yorkshire and the first niche practice in the region to be recognised by both Legal 500 and Chambers & Partners Directories.We’ve been recognised as Niche Law Firm of the Year at the Yorkshire Legal Awards and shortlisted for Northern Powerhouse Awards alongside international law firms. Our clients have since started referring to us as a “true challenger brand”, which we rather like! But the thing we’re most proud of is that we’ve never lost sight of that original vision. We gather regular client insight and use it to develop and shape our services and events to evolve with our clients - and this is what really sets us apart. To us, being ‘client focused’ isn’t just something to claim in our firm literature. Relationships are part of our culture, our way of working and central to both our success and our clients’. The Torque Law team advise businesses on all aspects of day-to-day employment law through to the most complex of restructures and tribunal claims. We work regularly with Chief Executives, General Counsel and HR professionals and understand what it takes to achieve our clients’ commercial goals as efficiently and painlessly as possible. We’ll even stick our necks out and tell you what we’d do in your position.With extensive negotiation experience under our belts, we also help directors and senior managers to negotiate new terms of employment and exit packages (under settlement agreements) in a way that gives the best personal and professional outcome. If you’d like to hear more about what it would be like to have Torque Law in your corner, please don’t hesitate to book a place on one of our events or reach out and we can have a chat over a coffee. My clients say: "Tiggy is a consummate professional." "She is a straight-talking, pragmatic and detail-focused lawyer who is supportive and will challenge us as a client when necessary."
