Paralegal – Employment & Pensions

The Employment and Pensions team is a growing team which provides strategic, ground-breaking and commercial advice to clients in the NHS, private healthcare, medical technology, emergency services, police, education, housing, charity, and social care sectors. We are also instructed by regulatory bodies, such as the Solicitors Regulation Authority, Bar Standards Board and Social Work England. We are the sole employment law provider for a number of the largest NHS Trusts in the country and we act for large social housing associations and for a range of emergency services clients, including various Police forces. Our team is dedicated to working for clients in these sectors and we have expertise in supporting clients to achieve the best strategic and commercial outcomes for them. Our work is often high profile and cutting edge, for example, advising the NHS nationally in respect of the covid-19 response and in relation to recent industrial action. We have an excellent track record in successfully defending complex Employment Tribunal cases, handling hundreds of claims each year ranging from unfair dismissal to multi day discrimination and whistle blowing cases. We also have a strong non-contentious employment team advising on issues including TUPE transfers, re-structuring exercises and shared services arrangements; and a dedicated Pensions team.
