The employment team at Stephenson Harwood is ‘strong and delivers a great combination of deep knowledge with a commercial flair’. Under the direction of Paul Reeves, the agile team covers the full spectrum of contentious and non-contentious transactional and advisory work. Areas of focus span advising on restrictive covenants, and TUPE issues. It also has considerable specialist expertise in sectors as diverse as financial services, rail and luxury goods. Recently, it has been advising on more cross-border employment matters. Anne Pritam and Natalie Edwards are well-regarded.
