Spear’s Review

Meriel Schindler serves as head of the employment team at Withers.

Schindler represents CEOs of companies and partners in multinational firms such as banks, law firms and hedge funds, as well as some A-List celebrities. Known for her experience in handling complex, high-conflict cases, her expertise includes advising on discrimination, restrictive covenants, gardening leave and confidentiality clauses. 

‘The clients I work with are being fired; they are being investigated; they are having allegations made against them; they’re moving or are part of a team move; or they’re accused of some level of misconduct,’ Schindler tells Spear’s. Clients value her ability to act quickly and draw upon Withers’ comprehensive in-house expertise to navigate such high-stakes situations.
