Farore Law > Firm Profile

Farore Law is a boutique, highly specialised law firm that challenges the marketplace. It provides the type of highly sophisticated service generally seen in large magic circle firms but places the client at the heart of its operations.  Farore Law has as its focus high-level discrimination, whistleblowing and misconduct in the employment and partnership fields.  It is managed by Suzanne McKie KC, a dual qualified solicitor/barrister. The firm has a sophisticated operating and case management system, and the Team provides clients with advice, negotiation, full litigation and advocacy services, from the beginning to end of the matter. It acts for clients in employment tribunals, appeal courts and the High Court. Due to its in-house advocacy capability, it assists clients in avoiding the doubling of costs by the use of external counsel.  Farore Law’s focal point is advising and acting for Senior Executives, as well as equity partners, founders of business and senior professionals in the consultancy, legal and medical fields.  It advises on shareholding; LTICs, LTIPs, carried interest and bonuses. The firm provides a rounded service with a particular understanding of issues of privacy and it acts for many clients who work in or hold high-profile roles. It acts for and advises those accused of misconduct who require internal or regulatory representation, advice on settlement, disciplinary processes or court-led representation. The advocacy abilities of the Team means Farore Law provides a unique ability to challenge and analyse evidence ahead of advising on the merits of settlement or other resolution.
