Employment Law
Balancing the needs of employers and employees.
Employment law affects every organisation and every working relationship. Our employment team provides comprehensive advice to employers and senior employees, helping to manage the legal aspects of the employment relationship effectively and proactively.
We advise on the full employment lifecycle, from recruitment and onboarding through to termination and post-employment restrictions. The Employment Rights Act 1996 provides the statutory framework for unfair dismissal, redundancy, and whistleblowing protection, while the Equality Act 2010 prohibits discrimination across nine protected characteristics. Recent legislative changes — including the Employment Relations (Flexible Working) Act 2023 and the Worker Protection (Amendment of Equality Act 2010) Act 2023 — have significantly expanded employee rights. Our practical, commercially-minded approach helps organisations manage their workforce legally and effectively while protecting individuals' rights in the workplace.

“Masl Legal guided us through a £4.5m cross-border acquisition involving companies in two jurisdictions, navigating complex rules of origin requirements under the UK-EU TCA and securing HMRC advance rulings on customs classification. Their ability to coordinate legal, customs, and tax workstreams simultaneously saved us months. We completed the entire transaction within 14 weeks — our previous advisers had estimated six months.”

“When we engaged Masl Legal for our corporate restructuring, we were preparing for a seed fundraise while simultaneously integrating an acquisition. Their corporate team structured a group reorganisation that satisfied our incoming investor's requirements, preserved our R&D tax credit eligibility, and resolved legacy shareholder issues through a bespoke drag-along mechanism. The transaction completed on schedule and we closed our £2m seed round three weeks later.”
