We act for broking houses, managing agents, and (re)insurance underwriters, and we have substantial experience of handling employment law matters in the London insurance market, including at Lloyd’s.

Our services cover a wide range of employment law issues such as workplace compliance, employee relations, discrimination claims, dismissal processes, whistleblowing, policies, restrictive covenants and team moves. We also advise on regulatory obligations under the Senior Managers and Certification Regime.

We understand the unique employment law challenges facing insurance companies, including navigating industry-specific regulations, managing workforce disputes, and mitigating employment-related risks. Our tailored advice helps minimise liabilities and ensure compliance with UK employment legislation.

Examples of our work in the insurance sector include:

• Advising a major international insurance broker on day-to-day HR and employment law matters, including grievances, contractual changes, recruitment and terminations, investigations and restrictive covenant disputes.
• Acting for insurance brokers and underwriters on a wide range of contentious employment law disputes, including discrimination, whistleblowing, unfair dismissal, and wrongful dismissal.
• Negotiating severance agreements, resolving board-level disputes and advising on senior exits.
