International Employment experts Alison Dixon, Anish Pathak and Olivia Baxendale provided invaluable insight to The Legal 500: Employment and Labour Law Comparative Guide for the United Kingdom: Employment and Labour Law chapter.

The aim of this guide is to provide its readers with a pragmatic overview of the law and practice of employment and labour law across a variety of jurisdictions.

Each chapter of this guide provides information about the current issues affecting employment and labour in a particular country and addresses topics such as the termination of employment, procedures, protection for workers, compensation as well as insight and opinion on the most common difficulties employers face and any upcoming legal changes planned for their respective country.

In the United Kingdom chapter, our team answered questions on a wide range of employment issues, including protection from discrimination or harassment; lawful termination; garden leave; and collective agreements in relation to the termination of employment.
