PARTNER DISCRIMINATION AND WHISTLEBLOWING ISSUES FOR PARTNERS AND LLP MEMBERS

We specialise in advising partners and LLP members on complex discrimination and whistleblowing issues. We have extensive experience in advising on and litigating such matters, and of the resolution of such issues in negotiated settlements.

We understand the tactical handling required in partner discrimination and whistleblowing issues, particularly in the context of highly regulated professional and financial services firms.

We represented Public Concern at Work, in the Supreme Court appeal in Clyde & Co LLP and another v Bates van Winkelhof (2014) on whether LLP members are workers for whistleblowing and other worker rights. We also contributed the Chapter on Discrimination and Whistleblowing Protections for LLP Members, in “The Law of Limited Liability Partnerships – Whittaker & Machell”.
