Team Services

We help our clients get the best out of their people, whilst worrying less about legal compliance and risk. In short, we empower our clients to get on with their day job.

Experienced partners with a deep understanding of employment law bring a commercial approach to our clients’ case, as well as full transparency on fees.

We are a sounding board for senior directors; we are comfortable taking the emotion out of difficult people decisions. We are always calm, professional and discreet. We have worked with some of the world’s largest employers, and we never forget that even the biggest people projects can require an individually tailored approach.

Manage our clients’ workforce and comply with all legal obligations by receiving authoritative and commercial advice, recommendations and solutions.  We also advise employees who are considering leaving their employer and on restrictive covenants.

 

Testimonials

Paul Ryman has been fair, frank and helpful since our first meeting and up and including the tribunal. He has gone to great lengths to help me and I would recommend Paul to anyone who, like myself, is in need of help.

It is the staff at gunnercooke that stands out. They are very keen and help deal with issues much faster than most firms I have worked with.

The staff I have dealt with has always been very quick to respond and been very helpful and knowledgeable. They are also very friendly and take an interest in our business. In particular my experience working with Sarah Armstrong has been excellent.
