EMPLOYMENT AND PARTNERSHIP LAW ADVICE FOR FINANCIAL SERVICES FIRMS

Financial Services is a core sector of our Firm.  We regularly provide advice to both international financial services firms with UK subsidiaries, and also many senior executives – for which we have a significant reputation.  We have particular expertise in advising on the employment and partnership law issues of investment management and hedge fund partners.

We advise those financial services clients on start up and employment contract issues,  internal investigations and disciplinary proceedings,  negotiated exits, bonus issues and enforceability of restrictive covenants.  We further provide advice on day to day employment law issues and queries for our financial services employer clients, redundancy processes and procedures, as well as conduct of employment tribunal litigation and settlement negotiations.

Contact David Fisher for more information.
