Employment Disputes
Deals
We acted for the plaintiff in a USD$15m claim concerning alleged breaches of an employment contract, in which the Court struck out the entire defence case for serious discovery failures.
We acted for the first defendant, a Jersey lawyer, in a dispute between former partners of a Jersey law firm, over whether shares in a trust company were sold at an undervalue. The damages claimed exceeded £100m, with the case compromised a week into the trial without any damages being paid.
We provide independent advice to employees concerning the adequacy or otherwise of the severance packages offered by their financial institution/law firm employer.
Team Services
We recognise that employment disputes need to be handled with utmost sensitivity. Such disputes will often involve complex legal issues, and will also involve reputational risks to those concerned. Our team will keep those risks at the forefront of their minds when handling these cases.
Our Services include:
- Drafting contracts of employment.
- Unfair and constructive dismissal claims.
- Discrimination claims.
- Redundancy.
- Equal pay.
- Compromise and settlement agreements.
- Restrictive covenants.
