Withers Worldwide

Our employment team advises luxury and consumer brand companies and entrepreneurs on many aspects of the employment relationship.

With detailed knowledge of the sector, we are a valuable source of advice in the early stages of negotiating the terms of an employee's appointment. We are familiar with salary expectations and know what incentives are effective for key creative people. We understand what kind of issues can affect staff performance, and are keen negotiators when it comes to contentious or difficult issues.

It is occasionally necessary for employers to take action to discipline or dismiss an employee. Given the importance of maintaining good publicity in respect of the brand, we play a valuable role in guiding our clients through the employment legislation so that a delicate situation is not made worse.
