Eversheds Sutherland (International) LLP

The ‘high performing’ team at Eversheds Sutherland (International) LLP has the strength-in-depth to handle a tremendous volume and range of contentious and non-contentious matters for a plethora of large UK-based global organisations. The size of the team affords it the ability to have a strong degree of individual partner specialisms, both in workstream and industry focus. The ’exceptionally knowledgeable and pragmatic’ Thomas Player has a core focus on collective employment/industrial relations matters, work which often involves multi-jurisdictional aspects, including negotiating European Works Council structures in foreign jurisdictions alongside international colleagues from other network offices. Player also regularly advises on complex international restructuring projects, as does team head Tom Bray as part of his broad transaction support offering. In addition, Bray has deep knowledge of the employment issues impacting the aviation sector, including providing advice on change management and employee relations. The ‘highly talented’ Sally Isaacs maintains a market-leading equal pay practice, which continues to see her defending Morrisons supermarket against thousands of equal pay claims. Huw Jones also has equal pay expertise, which forms a part of his broad employment offering which includes a considerable volume of public sector work.
