Employment disputes

Our team of employment lawyers have extensive experience in the insurance sector and work with insurers and their insureds dealing with the full range of employment-related disputes.

We act across a wide range of sectors to advise on all kinds of contentious – often high-value or high-profile – employment disputes. This includes:

Claims for wrongful and unfair dismissal, all forms of discrimination, and breach of contract
Breaches of restrictive covenants
Employee relations and trade union issues
Day-to-day concerns such as disciplinary issues and grievances

We identify and pursue the best way to resolve litigation depending on the priorities of the insurer and insured.

We are regularly instructed to advise and represent insurers in relation to policy coverage.
