Tarun Tawakley

I advise a broad range of clients, including multinational and UK-based employers and senior executives, on complex, strategically important and high-impact employment law issues.

I've been recognised for my work in The Lawyer's Hot 100 and International Employment Lawyer described me as "outstanding". Chambers and Partners describes me as "superb" and "our go-to partner for complex, strategic advice".

I have particular expertise in issues relating to the platform and / or gig economy. I've successfully defended gig economy business models in multiple jurisdictions, and across various forums including courts, labour inspectors and other regulators. I've worked with governments and regulators on legislative reform.

I have a focus on High Court litigation and advise on disputes involving restrictive covenants, misuse of confidential information and other contractual claims.

A member of the Law Society's Employment Law Committee, I review and promote improvements in employment law and practice; support members of the profession working in employment law; and promote the role of solicitors practising in employment law.
