Lawyer Rankings
London Bar > Employment
(Leading Silks)Ranked: Tier 1Daniel Stilitz KC – 11KBW ‘Daniel is a formidable advocate, who has mastery of all aspects of employment law. His oral and written submissions are an exemplar of measured, clear, eloquent, focused and compelling argument: they manage to combine a grasp of the fundamental principles with a sharp attention to detail.’
11KBW is ‘a leading set for employment work‘. The team has been kept busy handling large-scale equal pay claims, high-profile industrial relations cases, discrimination matters and whistleblowing claims, to name a few areas of instruction. The ‘authoritative‘ Sean Jones KC handles the full gamut of employment law matters, and Richard Leiper KC is ‘the Rolls Royce standard‘. Recent highlights include the ‘highly impressive‘ Daniel Stilitz KC leading Hannah Slarks for the Department for Business and Trade in Secretary of State for Business and Trade v Mercer, a case heard by the Supreme Court concerning if employees who take part in industrial action can be subjected to disciplinary action short of dismissal; the case concerned a care home worker who was suspended (and therefore not receiving overtime pay), but not dismissed, by her employer. Among the juniors, the ‘exceptional‘ Sophie Belgrove has ‘a deep understanding of all aspects of employment law‘. Amy Rogers KC, Simon Forshaw KC and Judy Stone KC were all elevated to silk in March 2024.
