PARTNER DISCRIMINATION AND WHISTLEBLOWING ISSUES

We have extensive experience in advising partnerships and LLPs on partner discrimination and LLP Member whistleblowing issues. Typically, such sensitive matters are resolved confidentially, however we have extensive experience in handling discrimination and whistleblowing litigation where necessary.

We advised the Intervenor, Public Concern at Work, in the Supreme Court Appeal in Clyde & Co LLP and another v Bates van Winkelhof on the issue of whether LLP members are workers for the purpose of whistleblowing and other worker protections.

We also wrote the Chapter on Discrimination and Whistleblowing Protections for LLP Members in the leading textbook “The Law of Limited Liability Partnerships – Whittaker & Machell”.
