‘They punch above their weight giving incisive advice understanding the commercial drivers of the client.’

‘Jo Evans and Paul Rajput are both exceptional. They combine commercial and legal insights with client care that is just what is wanted.’

‘I don’t know why a company would use another firm for employment advice: Lewis Silkin has fantastic lawyers who offer excellent, commercial advice and charge substantially less than bigger City firms. They have an unparalleled breadth of offerings (all of which we have used).‘

‘Provide timely, pragmatic advice, offering a range of options and recommendations on highly complex matters in a simple to understand manner, effectively becoming an integral part of our international labour relations team.’

‘With employment being a major focus of the firm, we know that this is not a ‘nice to have’ department – it is the heart of the firm. This means we can expect (and get) strength in-depth, excellent client updates, and a genuine appreciation of employment law and industry matters affecting our business.’

‘Lewis Silkin has a talented and experienced team of lawyers that can advise on all employment / labour related topics. Some of the lawyers have specialised on niche areas such as European Works Councils (EWC), which implies that their knowledge is best in class.’

‘Lewis Silkin has provided my team with exceptional support and advice over the years. They are true partners in the way they work with not only our in-house lawyers but other key stakeholders in our business.

‘Extraordinary strength in depth. Excellent training and empowering of associates means that everyone in the team can be relied upon to provide exceptional work.’

‘They have covered almost all aspects of Employment Law and the associated angles with both statutory law and litigation.

They also have a very strong bench and the associates are switched on and a pleasure to deal with.’

‘Their experience in High Court, tribunal and arbitral proceedings is second to none. They are tremendously hardworking without simply grinding their associates into the ground, have great clients, and lead the way in responding to client’s changing needs.’

‘The team works as a seamless whole ensuring that the client is well advised and up to date at all times.’

‘They are unique amongst top tier law firms in the breadth of the type of employment law service they are able to provide to senior executives. I can only think of 1/2 other firms that can provide a similar breadth – they are the ultimate one-stop shop for senior executives.’

‘Nicholas Hadaway’s ultimate focus is on what the client needs, 100% commercial and always has his eyes on the bigger picture.’

‘Geraint Lloyd-Taylor deserves recognition for his approachability, reactiveness and market-knowledge. Navigating advertising regulations often involves making judgment calls and operating in “grey” areas. Geraint brings clarity to those areas (based on his market experience), and is a trusted voice.

They foster close professional relationships with us as a client and will often have high-profile cases alongside those of a smaller business like ours, but they have the agility to make the smaller business feel as valued as the larger.

‘Kathryn Denyer – not only is she one of the few people in the immigration sector who is genuinely up-to-date on all the (frankly daily) developments, but she is extremely insightful in her reaction to those developments. I always want to know what she thinks about the latest changes. She sees the bigger picture.’

‘Andrew Osborne is always approachable and provides practical, commercial immigration advice.

‘We chose this practice because it seemed like a good fit for us, not one of the big guys, but full of people who’d worked for the big guys, and that mirrored our story as a fast growing software scale up.

‘All private practice firms want to shout about how well they understand your business but very few understand the creative world as well as Lewis Silkin. No need to waste time talking them through the intricacies of your industry, they know it and will probably teach you a few things you didn’t know to boot. The adage ‘you get what you pay for’ isn’t always true – it’s ridiculous how competitive their rates are given their exceptional industry knowledge.’
