Elborne Mitchell LLP is a specialist law firm based in the City of London.

The firm was founded in 1968 to provide professional and reliable legal advice to the insurance and shipping industries, and since then has worked across reinsurance, employment, commercial, banking, energy and shipping cases for clients all over the world.

“The Employment group at Elborne Mitchell professionally negotiated a generous settlement agreement on my behalf with my former financial services employer. They efficiently advised on all risks, covenants, and commercial areas of focus for my consideration. This allowed me to concentrate on the future, whilst removing me from the front line of all discussions and communication, providing insulation from the inevitable stress, and emotion which would otherwise have occurred. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Elborne Mitchell to any individual needing to obtain legal advice on any aspect of an employment contract.”

“Kate Payne and her team at Elborne were both extremely professional as well as unusually sensitive in dealing with my employment issues as an exiting CEO of several years’ standing. Whilst the professionalism was to be expected (and was exemplary), I had not appreciated how personally difficult leaving a senior post, after many years, could be and Kate, with her colleagues, guided me through this process, always ensuring my best interests were at the fore-front of negotiations, whilst remaining pragmatic about issues that were of lesser importance to me. They took the time and effort to understand the full picture and provided superb support and a very satisfactory outcome, both financially and personally.”

“It’s a fact of life that senior executives moving business is a frequent occurrence. Regardless of the reasons, executives often have to manage a host of personal risks and responsibilities including incentive schemes and bonus arrangements, existing equity stakes and post termination restrictions. When these challenges arose for me, Elborne Mitchell delivered logical and authoritative advice that ensured the best possible outcome for me and my future.”

“As a business leader I have had to make some difficult decisions about people in senior positions, often times resulting from M&A activity. Elborne Mitchell have always made sure we operate from an appropriate and effective set of documents, that make matters of exit and severance as straightforward and painless as possible, whilst at the same time protecting the legitimate interests of the business.”
