GQ|Littler is the leading employment law firm for employers in the UK and Ireland. We offer risk-based advice and litigation services on employment, immigration, employee tax and incentives issues. We work globally as part of Littler, the world’s largest employment law firm with more than 1,700 lawyers practising across 28 countries in over 100 offices.
While we can’t make employment disputes disappear, we can promise a modern, dynamic, solution-based approach.
Our team is highly experienced in advising on employment litigation: we are one of the few employment law teams that are as adept in High Court litigation as we are in employment tribunals.
We run litigation according to your needs and means and constantly strive to achieve the best result for you. You need the best team: one that is on top of the law but also the tactics of litigation. Understanding both your opponent’s mindset and your attitude to risk is fundamental to our approach to litigation.
We have the scale to manage major disputes, including large scale document review and disclosure exercises (for example, we recently completed a disclosure exercise involving 1,400,000 documents). We also have strong relationships with a number of global specialist e-disclosure and forensic IT providers.
