When making investment
decisions in the UK the Ashurst employment team led by Crowley
Woodford understand that people and culture are essential to the
success of any business investment. In order to achieve that success
our inward investor clients need to manage employment relationships
carefully from recruitment through to termination and beyond. Life at the interface
of investment activities and the legal requirements of UK employment
law can be challenging. In addition to day-to-day HR matters,
highly confidential and sensitive matters may arise which pose
reputational risk. Faced with those issues there is a need for
strategic, robust and commercially driven advice provided in a
timely manner which Crowley's team of employment lawyers at Ashurst
can deliver. With their strong technical understanding of employment,
incentives and pensions issues and their appreciation of the commercial
realities that clients face in today's global market, they can
also offer practical insights of the legal, financial, reputational
and ethical issues facing investors. About Ashurst LLP We are a leading

litigation, including in sensitive areas such as whistleblowing,
harassment and discrimination. The employment team also regularly
advises on the revolution of AI and its use in the workplace and
on data privacy issues such as data subject access requests, group
