We are delighted that GQ has moved up in the rankings in the Chambers and Partners Directory for the second consecutive year. This annual guide to the legal profession reflects research among clients, and the recommendation recognises that our commitment to providing a different, more commercial approach to employment law is appreciated by the market.
As well as the firm moving up a couple of levels in the rankings and being described as “rising stars of the industry”, the directory’s authors have singled out two of our partners, Paul Quain and Jon Gilligan as leading lawyers within the UK market.
We were also delighted to see one of our senior associates, Sophie Vanhegan, recognised as one of the leading associates in the employment law arena.
Chambers comments
‘The “absolutely fantastic” Paul Quain is said to possess “very strong commercial insights into the dynamics of the workplace,” enabling him to “provide clients with excellent service”.’
‘Jon Gilligan is hailed for his ability to “help clients find the optimal solutions to potential problems.” His “responsiveness and proactivity in anticipating possible developments in cases” draw further praise, “as does his impressive roster of clients from the financial services industry”.’
‘Sophie Vanhegan is acknowledged as one of the leading associates in the employment law arena. "I think she has a really good sense of how to hold the hands of clients, and combines that with a really impressive grasp of the more complex technical areas of employment law," opines one peer.’
The comments about GQ as a firm include:
“Boutique employment law firm with particular expertise in representing financial services clients.” “They provide us with good value and they're very attuned to our needs." "They're up-and-coming certainly. I'd see them as rising stars of the industry."
“I’m always able to work with the partners who give me the benefit of their expertise. I understood I was an important client to them.”
