Jonathan Carr

I have specialised in employment law now for over 25 years, accumulating a wealth of experience along the way acting for businesses of all types and sizes as well as many high net worth individuals and executives in interesting roles. I enjoy having an eclectic practice and the variety employment law brings - no two days are ever the same. I am privileged to represent an increasing number of sports clients reflecting a personal interest in sport and a growing professional profile in that area. I also proudly act for many other clients drawn from a range of different sectors including law firms, financial services, IT, pharma and real estate. My role is often to act as a 'troubleshooter' helping clients to put out fires and navigate employment challenges but I also seek to add value as a trusted advisor in more proactive ways, for instance helping to shape policy direction and guiding businesses on adopting more environmentally responsible employment practices - something about which I have written extensively in the media. Employment law is about applying common sense within a broad regulatory framework, being fair but robust, and having well thought-out, concise and understandable documentation. My aim is to support clients to achieve all of this in a friendly, accessible and responsive way. · Lewis Silkin
