About Winckworth Sherwood
A full-service law firm with a diverse client base, Winckworth Sherwood prides itself on providing market-leading advice across a broad range of sectors and markets. Delivering a first class service is key to everything we do. Our clients range from some of the UK’s largest businesses and institutions, housebuilders and developers through to investors, professional partnerships, family offices, not for profit organisations and private individuals – all of which benefit from the flexible, practical approach of our lawyers.
At Winckworth Sherwood, we take great pride in creating an environment that is inclusive for all. We believe in creating opportunities for everyone to develop and progress their careers in a way which is right for them. We understand that there are different reasons that an employee may request flexible working and, whatever the reason, we recognise that everyone has a right to request to do so. We recognise the benefits that flexible working can bring to both colleagues and the firm, and we want to ensure that employees have the right work-life balance. You can learn more about the firm’s core values here.
We believe that to understand the issues that touch our clients’ lives – and make a positive difference – we need a workforce that reflects the communities we serve. The firm is committed to promoting equality and diversity across the business as well as in those areas in which it has influence. We are signed up to the Law Society’s Equality and Inclusion Charter. Within Winckworth Sherwood we are extremely proud of the fact that we have higher than sector average representation of women at senior level: 46% of Partners and 65% of Senior Associates. The Partner figure alone far exceeds the SRA data which shows that only 37% of Partners across the sector are female.
Do you need assistance on an Employment matter?
Our diverse team of employment lawyers act for both employers and employees, so we are able to consider workplace issues from a number of different perspectives. This is unusual and somewhat unique among City law firms. It means we understand the challenges faced by either party in a given situation and can deploy the necessary strategies and tactics to make that knowledge work for you; whether as employer or employee.
Our clients benefit hugely from the sheer breadth of experience we have developed advising a wide range of individuals and organisations across the UK, and as a result our employment team is consistently recognised as Top Tier in the Legal 500 and Chambers Directories, with many of the team being given the Recommended Lawyer accolade.
Our clients are diverse and from a broad range of industries; we simply don’t need to limit ourselves to advising in a particular sector. We are versatile and inventive with our advice, which when combined with the experience and range of knowledge we possess, results in informed and commercial solutions to achieve the best results for you.
We act for all kinds of clients; from C-suite and senior employees to leading financial and regulatory bodies, family offices, and other City law firms.
We seek to always provide astute commercial solutions. Whatever the method – whether through mediation, arbitration, High Court hearings or employment tribunal proceedings – our employment team combines determination and intelligence to deliver the best possible outcome.
