Professional employment law support

At Kilgannon & Partners, we specialise in advising C-suite employees, senior executives and business leaders on their own employment rights/position.



We are employment law experts. You can take that as a given.

But you should expect much more than technical legal expertise. We pride ourselves on:

Deep experience: 


Most of our team have spent at least 15 years practising exclusively as employment lawyers. They bring advisory and leadership experience from a range of established City and regional law firms.

Commerciality:


We add value to your situation by deploying our legal and commercial judgement. We will explain your options in any given situation but, importantly, we will always tell you what we think you should do (and why).

Relationships: 


We invest significant time in getting to know you, your priorities and the sectors and markets in which you operate.  We are trusted advisers to many clients who regularly recommend our lawyers.

Cost-effectiveness: 


As a modern law firm with efficient internal systems and no artificial targets for our lawyers, we are not constricted by the financial models operated by most larger law firms.  We pass this benefit to our clients through our approach to pricing.
