Employment

Employment support for employers and organisations

Our employment lawyers support businesses and employers throughout the employment lifecycle, advising on issues from recruitment through to retirement and termination. We work with clients across a wide range of sectors, supporting organisations at every stage of the employment lifecycle.

We advise on employment contracts, workplace policies and employee handbooks, disciplinary and grievance matters, restructurings and redundancies, executive compensation and workforce immigration issues.

Our team helps employers comply with their legal obligations, manage employment‑related risks, and address workplace issues arising during organisational change.

Employment disputes, and tribunal representation

When disputes arise, our employment lawyers represent clients in tribunal proceedings, court hearings and settlement negotiations. We handle wrongful and unfair dismissal claims, discrimination matters, enforcement of restrictive covenants and other contentious employment issues. Members of our team have acted as a Commissioner on the Bermuda Human Rights Commission and as chair of the Bermuda Employment Tribunal.

Our approach is practical and solutions focused, helping clients manage risk and resolve disputes efficiently. We also work closely with other practice teams when employment issues arise in the context of restructurings or business change.
