Spear’s Review 

Richard Linskell is a highly experienced employment lawyer who has been with Gunnercooke for over a decade.

Linskell’s clients are principally UK-based senior executives and high-profile corporate professionals who work in a variety of industries, from pharmaceuticals and retail to professional and financial services. Since many senior executives have complex benefit arrangements and provisions, Linskell encourages his clients to seek advice from the outset in order to achieve the best deal.

He also covers other non-contentious matters such as exit arrangements, as well as more contentious issues such as discrimination claims and whistleblowing. ‘A lot of my work is about reassurance,’ says Linskell. ‘It’s about helping clients navigate a traumatic legal situation. It’s more than just legal advice; it’s emotional support as well.’
