We represented a senior executive at a major US tech company facing dismissal and the seven-figure loss of unvested stock. They believed their performance rating was lowered unfairly to advance a diversity agenda that deliberately disadvantaged their demographic. Through focused without-prejudice negotiations with the employer’s UK and US lawyers, we secured a confidential settlement on excellent terms – delivering substantial compensation and allowing our client to transition smoothly to new employment without the need for litigation. Another example of achieving strong results quickly and discreetly, avoiding the time, cost and publicity of an Employment Tribunal.

The BDBF lawyer acting in this case was Clare Brereton.
