Most major employment law firms do not act for employees. Lewis Silkin is different. We have a long track record of acting for employees in particular those working in financial services.

Our services include:

• Reviewing and advising on employment and consultancy contracts for people before starting a new job
• Challenging bonus awards
• Advising on post-termination restrictions in employment contracts and share plans
• Advising on compromise agreements
• Resolving disputes sensitively including through mediation
• Pursuing sex, race, disability, sexual orientation, religious and age discrimination complaints
• Fighting harassment and bullying claims
• Protecting people who have highlighted malpractice by their employers.

Why choose Lewis Silkin?

• Our heavyweight reputation
• Years of experience of acting in many high profile cases brought in the City (as well as settling many more of them discreetly)
• The resources of a major law firm and the largest employment law team in London but fewer conflicts of interest with banks, broking houses, private equity firms and hedge funds
• Our convenient base in the City
• Our membership of the international alliance, Ius Laboris, enables us to deal with international or cross border matters.

Leading cases where we have advised

Most people want their cases settled confidentially. For that reason we can't tell you specifics about most of the work we do. However, sometimes high profile disputes cannot be avoided.
