A specialist employment boutique, LangtonHudson, Lawyers covers all areas of employment law and industrial relations, including contentious, corporate transactional, and non-contentious matters alike. The practice is spearheaded by Stephen Langton, a lawyer with an illustrious track record in all-manner of litigious matters, including those before the Court of Appeal and Supreme Court; he is based in Auckland where Andrew Schirnack has been increasingly specialising in harassment, bullying and incompatibility matters. Ronelle Tomkinson rounds off the three-partner practice and is often involved in the employment advisory aspects of big-ticket corporate transactions.
