We regularly act for both employers and employees. Having been on both sides of the table, we use our knowledge of how each party operates to the other's advantage.
We help individual employees understand what may lie ahead, and how best to resolve their issues. Knowing the strategies that employers adopt when seeking to dismiss, demote or sideline particular members of staff, means we are better able to protect clients who find themselves in a vulnerable position.
For employees looking to move on to new roles, we can devise strategies for achieving this objective without jeopardizing the employee-employer relationship.

Disputes do not necessarily lead to court proceedings; but when they do, our dual perspective helps us to handle cases with sensitivity and efficiency. Should litigation become necessary to protect a client’s interests, the Withers employment litigation team has a broad range of experience prosecuting and defending wrongful termination, whistleblower and discrimination cases in administrative proceedings in tribunals in the UK and throughout the United States.
We act for senior executives and directors from a wide range of companies, including privately owned firms and major UK FTSE and US NASDAQ companies. The directors for whom we act often have additional shareholder issues. Most of our clients are based in the UK and US, but we also represent individuals from mainland Europe and elsewhere. With an international focus, we handle the many cross-jurisdictional issues that our international clients face.
We have worked in a wide range of sectors, but have particular experience and in-depth knowledge of the retail and apparel, financial services, banking and insurance, media, and professional and business service sectors.
