Recruitment Law

Silverman Sherliker LLP is particularly strong in the recruitment industry, a specialism that dates right back to the Firm’s inception.  Our long history of acting for recruitment industry players places us in an ideal position to advise on legal matters in this competitive and evolving industry.

We have in-depth expertise in handling all legal issues faced by recruiters.  Our lawyers assist clients in ensuring compliance with the Conduct of Employment Agencies and Employment Business Regulations 2003, and the Employment Act 1973.  We also regularly update our clients on new legislation as it affects the recruitment industry. 

Our Recruitment Department is highly experienced in the full range of contentious matters that affect recruitment businesses, including the ‘hiring and firing’ of consultants, and dealing with the drafting, breach and enforcement of restrictive covenants. 

We also defend prosecutions brought by the Employment Agency Standards Inspectorate.  

Working closely with our Litigation Department, we have many years of experience in resolving fee disputes and breaches of terms and conditions in hiring candidates. 

Ideally located for the City, and easily-accessible from the West End, we advise recruitment agencies and head-hunters across all business sectors, especially finance, investment banking, commodities, information technology, food, legal, REC-to-REC, multi-linguists, transport, senior management, administrative and secretarial.
