Employment in London

We are a pre-eminent employment practice and work with our clients on the full range of domestic and international employment issues. We work with a broad range of blue chip and multinational clients across a range of sectors, including financial services, insurance, telecommunications, pharmaceutical, transport, consumer products, publishing and retail.

We are known for being commercial advisers with the experience and knowledge to deliver cost-effective, decisive and pragmatic advice. Our consistent first tier ranking in the legal directories reflects our determination to deliver the best possible results and outcomes for our clients. We achieve this by investing in development of our team of outstanding individuals, maintaining our leading edge expertise and working in close partnership with our clients. We believe our broad client base enables us to bring a different perspective and give more rounded advice to employers across different sectors.

Our London team consists of more than 30 dedicated employment lawyers. We also work closely with our separate group of Employee Benefits lawyers and our Pensions Department. Working with both HR and in-house legal teams on day to day employment queries forms a significant part of our practice. Our lawyers also have recognised leading edge technical capabilities in areas such as discrimination, collective rights and workplace change (including TUPE, mergers and acquisitions, restructurings, outsourcing, collective consultation, trade union issues and EWCs), litigation in the employment tribunals and appellate courts, High Court litigation and data privacy.

Law360 ranked Baker & McKenzie’s M&A practice as the largest in the world for 2012, with almost twice as many lawyers as our closest competitor. The Firm was commended for bringing our “unique global scale and strategic perspective” to complex corporate transactions worldwide.
In this Client Alert, we discuss the US SEC’s final rules for implementing the whistleblower program under the Dodd-Frank Act, including provisions for whistleblower protection, award eligibility, submission and claims processes, internal corporate compliance programs and other practical considerations.
Our lawyers discuss the National Labor Relations Board’s (NLRB) recent move to postpone its November deadline requiring employers to post a notice of employee rights, and outline the NLRB’s directive on cost-saving measures and its importance to employers.
