Appleby acted in sensitive contentious employment tribunal and High Court cases involving executives, as well as providing employment advice in relation to M&A matters. Caren Hyde ‘focuses on the key legal issues without being distracted by irrelevancies thrown up by the other side’.

M&P Legal’s John Aycock is recommended. The practice advised on new Manx legislation, on high-value compromise agreements reached in the Manx finance sector, and on wrongful and unfair dismissal claims.

Cains’ Sally Cranshaw is recommended on the non-contentious side. The practice assisted in relation to a range of employment contracts/written terms of appointment and collective agreements.

Dougherty Quinn ‘combines a leadership team of directors with significant experience, while nurturing a wider group of younger lawyers who are clearly highly motivated and in the upper echelon of the island’s new breed of practitioners’. The practice assisted the Isle of Man Government Department of Health in defending an employment tribunal claim for unfair dismissal, discrimination and unlawful deduction of wages. Jo Hill and Leanne McKeown ‘proffer imaginative, yet reliable and pragmatic, solutions’. Walter Wannenburgh is a key contact.

The ‘knowledgeable and results-focused’ Simcocks advises on high-value compromise agreements, wrongful and unfair dismissal claims, redundancy matters, senior high-value termination agreements, tribunal claims and internal disciplinary matters. Irini Newby is ‘very effective’.

Although better known for commercial litigation, the team at Gough Law also handles employment work, advising on disciplinary and grievance procedures, redundancies and dismissals.

MannBenham Advocates Limited recently acted on various contentious employment matters, in addition to drafting employment contracts and advising on transaction-related issues.
