Eleanor Rowswell
Spear’s Review
Eleanor Rowswell is a ‘sensible, pragmatic and tenacious’ employment lawyer known for her representation of high-profile individuals and management teams and for dealing with complex matters. Her client base includes numerous directors of large public companies, senior bankers, law firms and financial institutions.
As a partner at Farrer & Co, Rowswell has experience in implementing restructuring programmes, advising on remuneration (including incentive schemes and bonus disputes), team moves and enforcement of restrictive covenants, and defending (or pursuing) complex discrimination and whistleblowing litigation.
What sets her apart is how she grounds technical legal advice in the broader context of her clients’ overall career and personal aims. Clients are said to value her pragmatic approach to securing an outcome that best supports their interests in the long term.
