Founded in 1997, we quickly earned a reputation as a leading employment law firm. Today, we’re much more than that – we’re an employee-owned specialist workplace law firm with a culture built on collaboration, integrity, and expertise.
Employee-owned, people-focused
Since becoming employee-owned in 2019, we’ve strengthened our commitment to a collegiate, inclusive environment where every team member feels connected to our goals. This ownership model drives our dedication to clients and fosters a culture where people genuinely care.
A team with diverse experience
Our people come from all walks of life – from ex-Army officers and former IT sales professionals to parliamentary researchers, and legal secretaries who have progressed to senior lawyer roles. We support multiple qualification routes, including CILEX, SQE, and LPC, reflecting our belief in opportunity and growth.
Industry engagement and global reach
Our lawyers regularly speak at major conferences, including the Employment Lawyers Association, and as a founder of ELLINT, an international network of employment law firms, we offer clients and employees access to expertise across Europe, South America, and China. Our lawyers also enjoy secondment opportunities with member firms, broadening their experience and outlook.
Community and culture
We value giving back and staying connected. From charity runs like the Reading Half Marathon to the London and Reading Legal Walks, our team supports causes that matter while fostering a positive, collaborative environment.
We combine expertise with a down-to-earth approach. Whether you’re looking for a trusted legal partner or a great place to work, you’ll find a team that values people, collaboration, and doing things the right way.
