Employment Law Support for Edinburgh Employers

Edinburgh’s concentration of financial services, asset management, higher education, technology and government-adjacent employers produces a distinctive set of instructions — heavily weighted towards senior exits, restrictive covenants and confidentiality.

Senior departures done properly. A director exit is rarely just an employment matter. Board resignations and Companies House filings, bonus clawback, bad-leaver share provisions and deferred equity, garden leave, fiduciary duties and the agreed announcement all need to land together. We handle the employment mechanics and flag where separate corporate or tax advice is needed.

Covenants that actually work. A non-compete drafted too broadly protects nothing — all covenants are void as restraint of trade unless no wider than necessary to protect a legitimate business interest. We draft to the specific role: client connection, workforce stability, or genuine confidential information.
