GQ|Littler
GQ|Littler is a leading specialist law firm for employers in the UK and Ireland. Offering risk-based contentious and non-contentious advice, our legal service includes employment, immigration, data privacy and employee tax and incentives. GQ|Littler is recognised as a leader in its field by both Chambers & Partners and Legal 500 as "a highly experienced boutique employment law firm." Rather than sitting in an ivory tower, we work like in-house lawyers which means we work in partnership with our clients in an integrated way and we invest time to understand every client's culture and business objectives. This approach means that we deliver practical solutions that reflect your culture and, crucially, your risk appetite. If it will be cheaper and quicker to simply ignore certain strict legal requirements (and it fits your risk profile), we will tell you! Equally, we will set out how to be fully compliant in a quicker, simpler way. To deliver this type of service requires expert lawyers. Our team have all worked in top City law firms, but more importantly we also have significant experience working in-house or outside the legal world so we understand how businesses work and are able to come up with creative, commercial and practical solutions. We specialise in resolving complex, high value issues. We work with clients across all sectors from global investment banks to start ups and we are experienced in advising on all issues, from complex change projects, high stakes litigation or senior dismissals to everyday HR queries.
