Led by the vastly experienced Louise Price, Hugh James has excellent market traction among RSLs, public sector organisations and corporate employers, which are appreciative of the team’s versatility across a wide array of employment matters, ranging from TUPE advice and equal pay, through to data protection and general HR issues. As well as providing standalone advice to clients, the team also regularly collaborates with the firm’s market-leading corporate team to provide employment due diligence advice on M&A transactions led by them. On the contentious front, the ‘very professional and approachable’ Rhiannon Dale often provides the advocacy for employers defending against high-stakes claims brought before the employment tribunal, including those relating to whistleblowing and alleged discrimination.
