Employment
As companies review their cost structures, employees often bear the brunt of the resulting changes. We can help both companies and executives through what can be delicate and emotional negotiations.
We act for senior executives on a full range of employment matters, including acting against some of the world's most powerful companies and institutions. Our work includes advising on complex and high-value severance issues. We also advise individuals on their rights as owners of partnerships, LLPs, corporations and limited liability companies.
We can help companies and institutions seeking to drive down costs efficiently. We advise on employment exit strategies, negotiation and the practicalities of corporate overhauls. In addition, we advise on drafting employee benefit schemes to retain key staff and (in the UK) situations involving the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) (TUPE) Regulations.
In the US, members of our team have acquired a depth of knowledge in the U.S. credit market sector, having represented high level executives in civil litigation claims and parallel proceedings before governmental agencies, brought in the wake of the credit market crisis. When necessary to protect an executive's professional reputation, we are well-equipped to assist US-based executives clear their professional name in expungement proceedings before FINRA. Where necessary to protect the business reputation of our executive clientele, we draw upon the expertise of our reputation management team in developing seamless, cross-border strategies for managing on a global basis negative press that so often accompanies high profile matters.
