London Bar > Employment Tier 1
Littleton Chambers is ‘a pre-eminent employment set with a wealth of talent at all levels‘. Among the silks, Gavin Mansfield KC‘s ‘legal knowledge is second to none‘, and has an excellent track record in advising on complex team move cases and business protection matters. David Reade KC is well known for his strength in handling equal pay litigation; Jeremy Lewis KC ‘has a breadth of knowledge of employment law that is unrivalled‘; and Nicholas Siddall KC is ‘a charming advocate, able to win over judges‘. In a recent work highlight, Adam Solomon KC, Niran de Silva KC, Sophia Berry and Charlotte Davies appeared in Jump Trading International Ltd v Couture and Verition Advisors (UK Partners) LLP, a business protection case involving the enforceability of a variable non-compete covenant - one which purported to grant the former employer discretion to determine a period between zero and twelve months- by means of an injunction. At the junior end of chambers, Lucy Bone handles a high volume of complex whistleblowing and discrimination claims, and Matthew Sheridan stands out as ‘a worthy opponent of any silk at the employment law Bar‘. The group was bolstered by the arrival of Tim Goodwin in November 2023.Rising stars

Diversity
Littleton Chambers is committed to principles of equality, diversity and social mobility in our provision of legal services, recruitment and internal management of staff and members. Our barristers carry out pro bono work and undertake fundraising initiatives for organisations such as Advocate and the London Legal Support Trust. From an internal perspective, we have introduced revised systems to help monitor fair allocation of work and led work. We introduced a mentoring system to train members to mentor one another at key stages during their career development such as in the first few years of tenancy, returning from maternity leave etc and into Silk.
We are a proud founding partner of Bridging the Bar and are participating their mini-pupillage scheme, through which candidates can apply for a dedicated mini-pupillage experience. We have formed a steering group with 4 other Chambers and have been instrumental in organising other Chambers to sign up to 10,000 Black Interns project, which aims to help transform the horizons and prospects of young Black people in the United Kingdom by offering six weeks of paid work experience across a range of sectors, providing training and development opportunities and creating a sustainable cycle of mentorship and sponsorship for the Black community. As a result of this steering group, 10,000 Black Interns has selected 24 candidates for the Bar scheme this summer. We have also recently formed a partnership with the Ark Elvin Academy, through which students have the opportunity to witness mock trials and learn about career opportunities directly from Littleton members.
For the past 5 years, the Littleton Sports Law Group has pioneered in championing diversity and inclusion with its Inspire Sports Law Initiative, using sports law as a bridge for those from under-represented backgrounds, and for athletes transitioning away from careers in sport. Led by John Mehrzad QC, thus far we have mentored two individuals into pupillage, one into a training contract and two more who now intend to join the Bar after having competed at the Tokyo Olympics.
Client Testimonials
CLIENT: Jonathan Goldsworthy
COMPANY/FIRM: Bird & Bird, Partner
TESTIMONIAL: Littleton is my go-to Chambers for employment litigation, having instructed counsel almost exclusively at the set for over 10 years. All of the barristers are extremely knowledgeable; however, more importantly, they are approachable and user-friendly and always willing to take a call on a matter or give a sanity check on a particular issue. The Clerking team is extremely responsive and adept at finding the right counsel for the right matter.
CLIENT: Clive Howard
COMPANY/FIRM: Keystone Law, Partner
TESTIMONIAL: Littleton are truly my preferred chambers. They have strength from the most senior QCs to the most junior-all the barristers I have instructed have been very helpful, very responsive and crucially always very well prepared.It helps that the clerking team are extremely efficient in dealing with queries and also reasonable when negotiating fees and dates. In terms of barristers I would single out Gavin Mansfield who is a delight to work with, very creative as well as having a superb attention to detail. For the juniors, Edward Kemp is very clear in his advice, again very good to work with. Also Lydia Banerjee-considered, calm and always helpful.
CLIENT: Hamish Cameron Blackie
COMPANY/FIRM: GBH Law, Director
TESTIMONIAL: Littleton Chambers is clearly in the top echelon of employment and commercial law sets. Its strength and depth are possibly equaled, but not bettered. Its members are all, without exception, clear and concise in advice, at the cutting edge on the law and add value on every occasion, but, best of all, everyone is a pleasure to deal with, no exceptions.

Clerking sets Littleton apart from other chambers. They are fast, and flexible and provide solutions to a busy solicitors office – not problems.
