Healthcare, education, and insurance in London
London's economy is anchored by a significant healthcare sector, two major post-secondary institutions, and a long-standing insurance and financial services industry. Healthcare and education employees often work under a mix of collective agreements, professional regulatory obligations, and standard employment law, which can make understanding their rights on termination or during a workplace dispute more complicated than it first appears.
Regulated and healthcare-sector employment
Employees in regulated professions, including many healthcare roles, sometimes face workplace investigations, disability accommodation questions, or disciplinary processes tied to professional standards as well as ordinary employment law. We help London employees and employers navigate these overlapping obligations, and assist with severance reviews, human rights matters, and workplace investigations more broadly.
