Employment for business

Maitland Walker's team of employment solicitors prides itself upon its comprehensive range of technically precise and commercially focused guidance on all aspects of employment law. We offer accurate, no-nonsense legal advice to a range of clients who require "hands-on" assistance with the complexities of today’s employment law. In so doing we continuously  assist our clients in the management of  critical employment relationships through the delivery of practical, operational and strategic advice. By doing so, we always focus on providing clients with commercial solutions.

Our experience allows us to offer expert advice on the employment aspects of transactions, reorganisation and redundancies having handled a large number of complicated reorganisations and multi-party transfer of undertakings (TUPE) cases. Maitland Walker’s employment team has  also acted in relation to regulatory matters and has successfully acted in cases concerning the Rugby Football Union and the General Medical Council.

On the contentious side, we regularly assist our clients in the defence of claims for all manner of things including, but not limited to all kinds of unfair dismissal, all forms of discrimination, breach of contract and in almost all circumstances conduct our own advocacy. Our approach enables us to provide a continuous service to clients who do not wish to use outside counsel to present cases in courts and tribunals. Representing our clients in this way allows us to maintain a valuable proximity to their case throughout, ensuring that clients receive a seamless service and the best attention throughout.  We offer a wealth of procedural experience in Employment Tribunal, Employment Appeal Tribunal and High Court litigation and recognise the importance of working with our client to achieve their overall objective in the case, whether that is a swift resolution by way of a negotiated settlement or fighting the case to a judicial conclusion. 

Amongst other things, we regularly advise clients on the following: -

Contracts of employment, service agreements, compromise agreements, shareholders agreements and disputes, restrictive covenants / obtaining injunctive relief, disciplinary and grievance procedures, all manner of work place policies, health and safety, all TUPE related issues, reorganisations and redundancies. 

Our team is based in London and Cheltenham and acts for clients throughout the country, but primarily services a loyal client base in London, Gloucestershire and Somerset.  The department is headed up by Nick Rowe, who  is listed by the Law Society as an expert in employment law.

Examples of our clients' feedback are as follows: - 

"I have now instructed Maitland Walker for a number of years. They always provide me with very "grown up" advice and do so in an really informal and friendly way. Nick Rowe's number is always close at hand and his team come with my highest recommendation." Darren Field, Blossom Leasing Ltd

"Nick and his team have always offered us sensible and practical guidance.  Nick is, in our view, the best around." Gary Hay, Reliance Water Controls Ltd
