About
Provided by No5 Barristers' Chambers
At No5 Barristers Chambers, our team of Employment barristers are highly skilled, user-friendly, and approachable. We are recognised as leaders in our field by Chambers UK and Legal 500.
The Employment Group has long-standing relationships with a number of public sector organisations, in particular NHS Trusts throughout England and Health Boards in Wales, local authorities, and police institutions including both the Police Federation and police authorities. A number of our barristers are on the Attorney General’s Panel of Counsel to the Crown. Our members regularly represent educational institutions, care providers, charities, and regulatory bodies.
We have similarly extensive experience of private sector litigation, in particular banking and finance, logistics, energy, sport, manufacturing, and retail.
The Employment Group specialises in employee competition litigation in the High Court. We regularly provide advisory and advocacy services to both employers and employees in claims for breach of restrictive covenants, misuse of confidential information, and team moves, where damages and injunctive relief, including springboard injunctions, are sought. Our members have appeared in a number of significant cases in this field in recent years, including at Court of Appeal level.
We can also assist in employment-related claims in other jurisdictions, such as judicial review claims in the High Court and regulatory appeals in the First Tier and Upper Tribunals.
