International Work

Much of the firm’s work has an international element. This is serviced through ELLINT (Employment and Labor Lawyers International) the organisation of specialist employment law firms, as well as Doyle Clayton’s network of other global employment and related specialist law firms and advisers. Established relationships also exist with leading inward investment agencies with foreign businesses frequently helped to set up and expand in the UK and beyond into Europe.

Sector Expertise

For clients, using advisers with first hand, practical experience of their industry provides real advantages. Many of Doyle Clayton's lawyers and consultants have worked in-house in the industries they now advise, giving them in-depth and specialist insight. Sectors the firm is currently helping clients in include - financial services, insurance, professional services, engineering and manufacturing, retail, hospitality and leisure, built environment, technology, media, fashion, life sciences and healthcare, energy and natural resources, transport and logistics, as well as education and not for profit.

Clients

Doyle Clayton’s client base is particularly broad and includes organisations ranging from multinationals to successful UK businesses and start-ups as well as NPO’s (including educational institutions), along with senior executives and other individuals. The result is a unique insight into the broad people and connected issues that organisations regularly encounter which many law firms working solely for employees do not have experience of. It also enables individuals to be advised more effectively and strategically than firms not regularly working with employers.
