Alongside advising on all aspects of employment law, we offer a wide range of value-added services; of particular note is our impressive training offering. We also advise on the full range of employment tribunal and civil litigation, including team moves and enforcing restrictive covenants.

The Edinburgh team is fully integrated with the Employment Department. You will therefore benefit from being part of a growing team which includes Partner, Katie Russell, while working with our national client base.
