TEAM MOVES ADVICE FOR PARTNERS AND LLP MEMBERS

We have a particular reputation for advising on partner team moves including the risks, options and how such matters are typically handled and resolved in practice.

We have extensive experience in defending partners involved in team moves both in the High Court and in arbitration proceedings, and also in cross-border litigation involving a number of overseas jurisdictions.

Partner team moves carry a considerable level of risk both for the individuals involved and also potentially for the hiring firm. It is important that any partner who is considering a team move seeks independent advice which focuses on their rights, obligations, potential liabilities and options.

Contact Clare Murray  or David Fisher for more information.
