Our solicitors are employment law experts in matters affecting senior individuals and we provide strategic employment law advice to employers

One of The Times Best Law Firms and now in it’s 20th year, Averta, which is based in the West Midlands, continues to focus on the employment law issues faced by senior executives and professionals in all sectors, together with strategic advice to small and medium-sized businesses.

Averta has long been recognised as a leader in the field of employment law. Many of our clients are referred to us by leading legal firms, who do not specialise in representing individuals as we do. From the very start, Averta has gained strong recommendations from the respected legal research organisations, Legal 500 and Chambers and Partners.

Our advice is practical and robust; our solicitors are down to earth, friendly, and efficient with significant experience and a strong technical knowledge of employment law.
