Position summary

As an Employment Associate at Winston Taylor, you will be at the centre of complex workplace disputes, business-critical change projects, executive exits, and major corporate transactions.

You will work directly with senior decision-makers, take ownership of significant matters, and deliver commercially focused advice that helps clients move forward with confidence. Working as part of a market-leading international team, you will tackle high-pressure challenges, make a tangible impact for clients, and build your career on some of the most sophisticated employment matters in the market.

• Drive negotiations involving senior executive appointments, departures, restrictive covenants, team moves, and business protection matters.
• Act on the employment aspects of domestic and cross-border corporate transactions, delivering practical advice that keeps deals moving and businesses protected.
