Employment, Immigration and Data Protection Law
Doyle Clayton specialises in all workplace legal matters. The firm was established in 1997 and was amongst the first of the UK’s specialist employment law practices. Doyle Clayton has evolved into the UK’s largest integrated workplace practice and continues to evolve to best serve our clients. We are known for providing commercially-focused, exceptional quality advice and service at highly competitive rates. Our aim is to work closely with our clients as trusted advisers to support them in all aspects of dealing with their employees, from recruitment through to departure. We strive to provide proactive, practical and cost-effective advice so that we become an integral part of our client’s own team. Team Our team of more than 50 specialist
lawyers is drawn from the UK’s leading practices and in-house.
Our expertise covers all aspects of law and practice in the workplace
including: We work alongside our clients to resolve day-to-day queries, advise on strategic projects and the steps to take in order to protect their business. Where matters become contentious we litigate robustly, but sensibly, with our focus on achieving a client’s commercial goals in a cost-effective way. Notable work The firm acts at a level at which law is made. For example, in recent years we have been engaged in significant Court of Appeal cases involving whistleblowing and a bonus dispute. We regularly appear in High Court team move and restrictions cases. We have acted in the most notable and widely-reported Employment Tribunal cases relating to philosophical belief discrimination. International/inward investment We have many clients headquartered overseas with operations in the UK. We also advise companies intending to invest and open businesses in the UK. Whilst UK-based, our reach is global as a founder of the ELLINT network of leading employment law firms across Europe, China and LATAM. We also have long-established contacts with US firms with East and West Coast offices, and firms around the world through our practices. Clients We count amongst our clients publicly-listed companies and SMEs, both international and domestic. We have advised national embassies and international companies. Since our inception we have developed a reputation as a ‘go to’ firm on employment law issues. We have worked with our clients through the life cycle of their businesses. The result is that we have advised on a comprehensive range of HR issues including board-level reorganisations, director-level appointments and terminations, investigations into misconduct, and restructuring exercises and benefits changes. In addition, we have advised on business transfers, defending Employment Tribunal claims, litigating and mediating High Court non-compete and confidential information disputes, and providing bespoke training 1-2-1 training. Unlike many other law firms we also regularly advise senior individuals leaving organisations which provides a unique view of the broad people and related problems that HR teams regularly encounter, including the issues that individuals face in deciding whether to raise a grievance or to commence litigation against their employer. We have found that this makes a real difference in providing commercially pragmatic advice about where an employee relations issue may end up and enables our clients to make better decisions. Examples of our international employment law work • Defending clients from
lawsuits embarked on simultaneously in the UK and overseas. Business and Personal Immigration We have a dedicated team of 12 lawyers specialising in immigration matters, for companies wishing to hire overseas workers or for individuals with personal immigration needs. The team has expertise in advising on the ever-changing sponsorship process, dealing with a wide range of visa applications and complex business immigration matters. The immigration teams advises clients from major international organisations to SMEs and start-ups from a variety of sectors, including banking, technology, law, retail, construction, advertising and finance. The work we specialise in includes: • Sponsorship licences for
companies to hire overseas workers.
