Career
Nick is a highly experienced employment lawyer with an exceptionally strong reputation in the City of London and beyond.
Employment disputes can be very stressful for all concerned and Nick combines both empathy and toughness as necessary. He is a tenacious litigator and a tough negotiator with particular expertise in dealing with complex issues involving combinations of employment, partnership and related rights, including: Financial Services, Directors and Officers, Employee incentives, Regulated Professional, Sexual Misconduct in the workplace, and the rights and obligations of directors, officers and/or partners/LLP members.
Nick acts for executives, partners and employers across a variety of sectors including: professional services, “C-suite”, hedge funds, legal, retail, trading, insurance, technology, private equity, IT, accountancy, regulatory and banking.
Prior to joining Kingsley Napley, Nick was a founding partner of Archon Solicitors Limited, a City-based niche employment law firm. He therefore has experience of running a business and the pressures which go with management. Archon Solicitors merged into the employment department at Kingsley Napley in 2019, combining to create a team which we belief is even greater than the sum of the parts.
He is also a contributor to Sweet & Maxwell’s “Company Directors: Law and Liability” and a contributor and editorial board member of Sweet & Maxwell’s “Practical Commercial Precedents”.
