Frequently asked questions
What are my options for getting legal advice?
Our employment lawyers in Canary Wharf offer meetings in person, over the phone or video call – whichever suits you best. We work with clients across London and the South East and tailor our approach to your preferences and availability.
How quickly can I get advice?
We respond promptly, usually on the same day or next working day. If your matter is urgent – such as a suspension, dismissal or redundancy – we’ll prioritise your enquiry to ensure you receive timely support.
Do you advise on employment issues in regulated sectors?
Yes. Many of our clients in Canary Wharf operate in regulated sectors such as financial services, insurance, fintech and professional services. These industries face strict compliance obligations, reputational risk and scrutiny around senior accountability – especially under regimes like the FCA’s Senior Managers and Certification Regime (SMCR).
We advise employers on day-to-day HR matters, investigations, whistleblowing, disciplinary action, restructuring and high-value exits. Our work is commercially focused and always considers sector-specific obligations. For employees and senior executives, we regularly advise on bonus disputes, employment contracts, restrictive covenants and negotiated departures.
What types of employment issues can you help with?

Whether you’re an employee, senior executive or employer, we offer practical support across the full range of employment law matters.
Can you help with redundancies and settlement agreements?
We do. For employers, we provide strategic advice on planning, consultation and fair selection criteria, helping to manage risk and maintain compliance. For employees, we explain your redundancy rights, review settlement agreements and help challenge unfair or discriminatory decisions. We also advise on collective redundancies and protected conversations.
Do you have experience with complex or high-value employment matters?
Yes. Our team regularly advises on senior executive exits, board-level disputes, business restructures and claims involving significant financial or reputational risk. We take a strategic approach, focused on protecting your position and achieving the best outcome.

We do. Whether you’re bringing or defending a claim, we’ll assess the strength of your case, guide you through the process and represent you if needed. Our solicitors aim to resolve matters early where possible, but we have the expertise to act through to final hearing if required.
