Littler

Littler is the largest global employment and labour law practice, providing workplace solutions that are local, everywhere. With over 1,800 lawyers in more than 100 offices worldwide, Littler represents management in all aspects of employment and labour law.

Raoul Parekh is a Partner at Littler and leads the firm’s international practice.  He has a particular focus on assisting international clients with their UK and EMEA employment law challenges.

Raoul has significant employment tribunal litigation experience, as well as High Court employee competition matters. He is also experienced in day-to-day HR support, including dealing with employee grievances and consultation processes, terminations and drafting contracts and policies. Raoul acts for several “professional employer organisations” (or PEOs) and “employers of record” (or EORs), advising them on their UK and international employment compliance strategy and other issues. He has been invited to speak to the UK and European Employment Lawyers Associations about the employment law issues raised by these innovative sectors.

Raoul was a founding co-chair of ELA’s Race Equality Committee. He also leads our internal Pro Bono and CSR programme and volunteers at the University House Legal Advice Centre’s employment law clinic.

Prior to joining Littler in June 2015, Raoul worked in Baker McKenzie’s London employment team, where he co-ordinated employment advice for international clients across EMEA and globally, as well as advising on UK matters. During this time, he also completed secondments to the in-house employment law teams at Lloyds Banking Group and Standard Chartered Bank.
