Our clients include financial institutions, commercial businesses, actuaries, pension consultants and trustees who come to us either on an ad hoc basis or who retain our services for ongoing advice.
We have the scale and expertise to resource heavyweight contentious employment disputes and tribunal matters and we can also support you and your business in non-contentious areas of work. We are well-versed in relation to large takeovers and business amalgamations and, as a full service firm, can provide support wherever you need it.
