Neil DiteSenior Associate

My clients are predominantly from the technology sector and advertising and marketing sector. I also advise a number of manufacturing businesses.

My practice includes senior level recruitment and exits, implementing change programmes and business restructures/collective redundancies. My work is often international in its scope and I regularly advise on multi-jurisdictional restructures, particularly across the EMEA region. I also have significant experience of defending UK Employment Tribunal litigation, including claims for unfair dismissal, wrongful dismissal, discrimination and whistleblowing.

My recent experience includes:-

• Advising a PLC client in the manufacturing sector on a restructure of its operations across the EMEA region driven by the impact of COVID-19.

• Coordinating advice for a ‘household name’ social media platform to implement changes to terms and conditions across multiple jurisdictions.

• Negotiating a commercial settlement of an ET claim brought against a major car manufacturer client, which included the mutual termination of a longstanding problematic relationship.

I am very passionate about Corporate Social Responsibility and I lead the firm’s charity and fundraising committee which works with our recognised firmwide and local charities to run awareness campaigns and to raise funds.
