Employment Legal Services and Pensions

We have large Employment Legal Services and Pensions teams who work globally and act for a broad range of clients, from local SMEs to multinational conglomerates. We also advise human resources teams, in-house lawyers, and provide support directly to businesses.

We can support you at every stage of the employment journey, from recruitment to termination and every step in-between. Plus, our highly skilled Pensions team can also offer you advice on the complexities of pensions and governance issues.

Our expert Employment Legal Services team understands the trends that global businesses face. However, our local approach always ensures we are familiar with the idiosyncrasies of each jurisdiction.

We know that legal compliance is no longer enough. This is why the guidance we provide takes into account important agendas such as ESG, diversity, equality and inclusion. By combining innovative, sustainable advice with topical governance expertise and tailored training, our internationally-recognised Employment Legal Services team applies its knowledge and industry experience to your individual circumstances and needs.
