Withers is one of the world’s leading law firms, providing support and advice to businesses and individuals on a wide variety of legal issues. The firm has offices in Europe, the USA and Asia (and over 680 people worldwide).

The 19-strong employment team at Withers advises both employers and employees on areas ranging from contract and exit negotiations, to disputes about discrimination, bonuses, whistleblowing and post-termination restrictions, and day to day advice about HR matters.

Withers counts some of the world’s most exciting organisations as clients, and is also widely recognised as a market-leader in advice to senior executives.  Whilst the firm advises primarily on UK and US law, our clients have interests across the world which we support by our international perspective and global presence.

Both top legal directories (Legal 500 and Chambers) recommend Withers’ employment group, and members of the team frequently provide comment and analysis on employment law matters to newspapers, magazines and broadcast channels.

We act for a range of well-known and long established employer clients, as well as senior and high profile executives (including several FTSE 100 directors).
