Jonathan Carr

I am a partner and specialist employment lawyer with over 20 years’ experience advising on employment law issues. My practice has a particular emphasis on restructuring, employee relations issues, TUPE/outsourcing, transactional support and senior executive exits. My clients are similarly diverse from law firms and hedge funds to football clubs and retail brands. Although part of my role as a partner involves managing client relationships, I am still very much a hands-on lawyer. My clients range across all industry sectors although in recent years I have developed more of a focus on the financial services, legal and pharmaceutical sectors. I have been recognised for my employment law expertise in both Chambers and Legal 500 for a number of years. I am a member of the Employment Lawyers Association, chair of Lewis Silkin’s TUPE group and Editor of the Sweet & Maxwell Transfer of Undertakings Bulletin. My aim is to assist clients in managing employment issues of all kinds in a swift, commercial and pragmatic fashion, consistent with their corporate culture; to add value by properly understanding their business and through proactive engagement; and to form long term relationships built on trust, personal chemistry and positive outcomes.
