Spear’s Review

Tim Spillane advises senior individuals and businesses on issues across the entire employment life cycle.

This can include recruitment, dismissal and reorganisation matters as well as contentious work. The Bird & Bird partner has particular involvement in investigations, business protection matters, team moves, whistleblowing and discrimination claims, with some cases making it to the High Court and Employment Tribunal.

He is also no stranger to high-profile cases: he recently represented a senior executive in a high-value whistleblowing and libel claim against a multinational company; he has also advised a hedge fund partner in a cross-jurisdictional dispute with his previous firm. 

‘What clients always appreciate is assistance with finding solutions within a legal framework,’ he tells Spear’s. ‘They’re not after someone to just tell them what the law is; they’re after particular solutions.’
