Not only are we a top-ranked team in London, but we are also a top-ranked team in the Thames Valley!  We opened our office in Oxford in 2004 and led by partners Russell Brimelow and Jonathan Carr, the team has now nearly tripled in size with further growth being planned.  We currently have 14 dedicated employment lawyers, including the partners, 10 associates, a paralegal and a professional development lawyer.

The team in Oxford provides a full, top quality employment law service to local, national and international clients: major charities, financial institutions, publishers, manufacturers, utilities companies, media and advertising, technology, individuals... the list goes on.  If you are based outside of London, particularly in the wider Thames Valley area, and would prefer not to travel into the capital, we are conveniently based in central Oxford, right next to the train station.

So, going outside London for employment advice does not mean compromising on quality.  As well as being an integrated part of the wider Lewis Silkin Employment and Incentives Team, our lawyers here are ranked in the top tier of the Legal 500. Russell is "singled out by clients as ‘really easy to work with – a lawyer who will tell it like it is and work with you to find a solution' " and Jonathan  "provides ‘very useful, practical advice and guidance.’”. 

We are always trying to get to know our Thames Valley clients' and contacts' businesses better and seeking to give them up to date insights and analysis. That is the intention behind our popular quarterly Thames Valley HR Directors' lunches. At these informal lunches, held at an Oxford hotel, HR Directors from the Thames Valley and beyond get the chance to discuss recent legal developments, the HR challenges they are currently facing in their organisation and any other hot topics, exchanging ideas and views with other senior HR professionals, on an off the record, confidential basis. It's great for networking too!  If your HR Director is interested in attending the next lunch, please contact us and we can give you all the details.
