GQ|Littler is, undoubtedly, the premier boutique firm specializing in employment law for employers in London and beyond.  Laura Lobb stands out as one of the foremost practitioners in employment law. Her profound expertise and extensive experience contribute to making my professional journey truly enjoyable. With her involvement, I am confident in receiving top-notch advice and exceptional leadership. She will walk the extra mile for you. My interactions with Laura Lobb have been consistently outstanding. She goes above and beyond to assist you. I also value the genuine care and personal attention she provides, which sets her apart from those firms who treat you merely as a “case”.  It’s truly refreshing to collaborate with professionals who invest in your well-being on a personal level.

I have been partnering with GQ|Littler for 3 years now and the service has been consistently stellar. The last 3 years may arguably be the most difficult years in the UK's history and continues to be for a number of businesses. We have had to make very difficult business decisions while we power through a troubling economic climate (including restructures, workforce reductions and major payroll changes) and through this, our Partner Philip Cameron and Associate Ben Rouse have been able to guide us through each process, with clear and comprehensive advice. I continue to be very happy with their partnership with us.

We always get sound, business friendly and commercially pragmatic advice from GQ|Littler. We have worked with them for several years and in that time, they have provided valuable advice and guidance on a variety of matters. Deborah Margolis is excellent and is very knowledge on sensitive and challenging employment issues. She is very strong both technically and commercially. She understands our business and her advice is always pragmatic, commercial and relevant. Deborah is very approachable and responsive, and always take the time to talk through our questions. We always feel confident and comfortable when working with Deborah and the rest of the GQ|Littler team.

We engaged GQ|Littler following the expansion of our business into the UK. The firm has been instrumental in helping our team get its arms around UK law and has skilfully handled all sorts of employee matters. Deborah Margolis is fantastic: a sharp, practical thinker who quickly discerns where we are, where we need to be, and how to help us get there. Her recommendations are tailored to our risk tolerance just as an in-house solicitor’s would be. If we could clone her to advise us in every geography, we would. The colleagues she has brought in to support on various matters have also been excellent - very responsive, pragmatic, and well able to adapt to shifting timelines and needs.

We have been instructing GQ|Littler on various employment matters including advice regarding restrictive covenant interpretation. The GQ|Littler team have been hugely supportive, consistently providing first class expertise. Their deep knowledge and understanding of our business and sector has been a true differentiating factor when compared to others in their ability to take a view and provide a truly tailored service offering. Sophie and Alison have been exceptional in their responsiveness and flexibility, being available on short notice and providing advice as per timeframes requested. We value their commerciality, pragmatism and technical expertise on quite complex and challenging matters and their ability to distil this to varying levels of the organisation in a way that is easily understood is invaluable. I have certainly felt very well looked after by the GQ|Littler team, they are hardworking, diligent and a pleasure to work with.

We've been working with GQ|Littler for our employment legals for more than two years now and we're continually impressed by their prompt responses and professional manner. They've guided us through multiple international engagements, drafted numerous agreements, and seamlessly engaged regional counsel where required.

We have worked with Deborah to resolve a number of legal matters across the entire spectrum of HR, people operations and recruitment. In particular, we appreciate the responsiveness and risk based / pragmatic approach. We enjoy working with GQ|Littler because it feels like we are working with a small practice with a strong client focus, whilst also giving us access to the global network of specialists which we utilise regularly.

Paul Quain, Lisa Coleman and Philip Cameron have been invaluable and trusted partners for us. Their proactive approach in handling complex, often litigious and always significant matters, has been impressive. Their first-class communication has ensured that we are always confident in their advice. However, above all, their technical expertise has proven essential in resolving countless challenging situations. They have been an essential asset to our organisation, ensuring we handle intricate and often highly emotionally charged employment matters with empathy, confidence and clarity.

The Group has been working with Philip Cameron and Chris Coombes for a number of years now; and the length of the relationship speaks volumes in itself. That they are experts in their field we take for granted but what sets them apart is the commerciality of the advice and the speed of service. They make us feel like we are their only client – and certainly their most important! We value the honesty of the advice and the practical solutions they offer us. They have made strong connections with our team such that they are now very much regarded as part of our cohort.

GQ|Littler has continued to be an excellent partner & advisor to all things related to Epiq’s international footprint. Raoul Parekh and Ben Smith have continually evolved their service and support model to meet the challenges and needs of Epiq’s global locations, entities, and employees. In fact, when Epiq had resignations of key HR personnel, GQ|Littler proposed a blended secondment of Littler attorneys across the globe which bridged Epiq’s gap until we backfilled those positions. This blended secondment was a huge success and helped to ensure that Epiq remained compliant with international employment regulations. The number of time zones covered by Littler’s associates in this program was amazing. Raoul, Ben, and their entire international team are exceptional partners to work with!

Dan Pollard is the stand-out partner. He is able to combine very deep technical skills with excellent commercial understanding, good judgement in forming and executing a negotiation strategy and innate people-skills. He is a pleasure to work with and able to smooth things over or ruffle feathers as required. Bottom line is that he is a highly effective and efficient animal and definitely someone you would rather have on your side!

We have sought Philip Cameron's advice on two claims against us. No money was paid to either claimant and in one case the matter was dismissed with costs in our favour! An absolutely victorious litigator with the great GQ|Littler team supporting him. A rare double win in employment law and at all times a thoroughly reassuring experience being supported and guided by Philip and the GQ|Littler team in both matters.

Sophie Vanhegan (UK), Raoul Parekh (UK), and Niall Pelly (Ireland) are recognised as key lawyers.
