Recruitment

Using our legal expertise for your commercial gain.

Business confidence is growing, demand for skilled personnel is rising, organizations are looking for ways to cut employment costs and workforces are becoming more flexible. But with the positives come increased legislation, fierce competition and challenges associated with the new economic landscape. As leading advisors to the sector, we know exactly how to deal with recruitment and resourcing issues in the UK, and Europe, and most major countries in the Middle East,  Asia, Latin America, and Africa, and clients benefit from our work with government and trade associations.

Our advice can add value to your business. Selling, buying or refinancing – we’ll make sure your value doesn’t disappear in the process. As the M&A Awards Law Firm of the Year 2009, we have the expertise and sector knowledge to see deals through smoothly, on time and on budget.

We’ll protect you, too. Our ‘team move’ experts will give you the specialist injunction, restrictive covenant and data protection advice you need to safeguard your business against unscrupulous employees. We’ll also make sure international equal pay/discrimination legislation such as the Agency Workers Regulations and tax-debt transfer problems don't damage your reputation or value proposition.

We’ll keep you flexible and tax efficient. As workplace taxes rise and employment rights grow, flexible workforces become more attractive. We’ll help you handle tax and employment risk planning in managed service and RPO deals, VAT mitigation and ‘in house’ umbrella arrangements.
