Specialist employment law advisers to Senior Executives including those at C-suite level, directors, NEDs, founders, partners, regulated executives, and executives involved in cross-border arrangements.

Our specialists can help you deal with the full remit of contentious and non-contentious issues relevant to Senior Executives, including issues on entry to, or exit from employment, assisting with any related disputes, and helping you manage reputational risks such as disciplinary investigations.

We can advise you on key contractual items such as restrictive covenants, as well as your rights and potential claims (including discrimination and whistleblowing) which may be relevant on exit in order to maximise your position. At all times we are conscious that many Senior Executives may have significant value tied up in deferred compensation plans, so we will work with you to develop a strategy to meet your objectives as far as possible, and to manage risk where necessary.

In our experience many of the high-value and complex matters we work on require multi-disciplinary advice. To that end, so that you have the best possible expert advice we will work with other Knights’ teams to ensure you are looked after all under one roof, whether that be our tax, private wealth, commercial, immigration or regulatory teams.
