Our Employment Team

I have been really impressed by the team at Cains in terms of how they have helped us to navigate a number of complex challenges. Their approach takes into consideration what the law says, the commercial impact and then how to implement at an operational level. I would be more than happy to recommend them.

It’s always a pleasure to work with Katherine and the team at Cains. They provide clear and concise guidance on aspects of employment law and are always responsive. I feel that nothing is ever too big or small to ask for their steer on, and it’s reassuring to know that they understand the local market and wider UK landscape too. Great partners to work with.

For the work we have done together, I can say that it has been a pleasure to partner with the team on employment legislation training matters. They are very knowledgeable in their field and their collaboration has been very useful in terms of upskilling the HR population on the Isle of Man.

My interactions with Katherine have all involved complex and highly contentious issues between the parties. Katherine combines her natural empathy with a strong commercial acumen, this allows her to achieve the best possible outcome for her clients both personally and financially. She holds opposing counsel to account quickly and with confidence allowing proceedings to move rapidly and minimising overall outlay. I look forward to working with her again in the future.
