The practice at Latham & Watkins has Sarah Gadd at its helm, who has expertise in advising on the full array of employment, benefit and incentives issues. The team has the capacity to guide clients through the scheme elements of complex and high-value international transactions, such as acquisitions and takeovers; this is an area of particular specialism for Kendall Burnett who is active across the scope of the team’s work. The team is also equipped to assist with employee-related aspects of corporate governance and financial regulations, and on the life cycle of share schemes. Rebecca Servian bolstered the group with her April 2024 arrival from Ashurst.
