The employment team at Eversheds Sutherland is active across a wide variety of both contentious and non-contentious matters. The ‘extremely accommodating’ Ian McFarland heads the team. McFarland and associate Laura McManus both frequently represent large employers in the financial services, retail, and manufacturing industries in tribunal claims, as well as advising on non-contentious matters. The Belfast office often collaborates with the wider firm’s offices in London, Dublin, and Cambridge - and further afield - on the employment aspects of high value corporate transactions.
