Littleton Chambers is widely recognised as a leading set for statutory employment work. Our members are instructed across the full spectrum of employment disputes and advisory work, combining technical excellence with a practical and commercially focused approach.
We act for employers, senior executives, and individuals in complex and high-value claims, as well as in sensitive and high-profile matters. Our members are equally at home handling large-scale group litigation and cutting-edge test cases as they are providing strategic advice on day-to-day workplace issues.
We appear in the Employment Tribunals and the Employment Appeal Tribunal, as well as in the higher appellate courts. Members have appeared in many of the decisions of the Supreme Court in recent times addressing employment issues. Our practice is truly national and international: we regularly act in Scotland, Northern Ireland, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man, as well as England and Wales.
Members of Chambers have been involved in many of the leading authorities in Employment law, particularly in the fields of employment status, discrimination and equal pay. We are also known for our expertise in collective labour law and complex procedural matters.
We are active members of the Employment Law Bar Association, the Employment Lawyers Association, and the Industrial Law Society.
