Our Employment Team has provided tailored advice to a great many individuals working in a wide range of market sectors. Highlights include:
- Acting for a senior employee and founder shareholder following the summary termination of his employment by a digital solutions enterprise. In a complex case involving close liaison with our Corporate Team, we successfully negotiated a settlement for our client on favourable terms, including significant monetary compensation for the loss of his employment and an increase of almost 10% in the number of shares he retained in the business
- Acting for a trader whose activities were regulated by the FCA and who was accused by his employer of mis-marking his trading book. We worked closely with the client during the preparations for his disciplinary hearing. This work involved collating documentary evidence and marshalling evidence in mitigation
- Acting for a senior individual in the property sector whose former employer made a number of serious allegations against him based on alleged misuse of confidential information and breach of restrictive covenants. Having taken instructions from our client, we prepared a letter which strenuously rebutted the allegations made and the former employer took no further action
