Client charter
We are ground breakers – our work and advice packs a big punch.
Curious. Client Obsessed. Bespoke. These are just three of the reasons why partnering with Hicks Watson makes good business sense.
We are Curious
Employment law is our passion, and we are constantly staying ahead of the curve on changes to employment law, so our clients don’t have to.
Aside from our passion for employment law, we are also passionate about different industries and sectors that we work alongside, we love the diversity of our client base and the learnings that we gain.
We are Client Obsessed

We will make ourselves as familiar with your company, your people and your strategy as one of your own team would. We will learn your business inside out so we can provide the most informed and commercially sensible advice and solutions to you. We will be there to celebrate your highs, as well as support you through the more challenging times.

We love Diversity.
We love the diversity of the clients that we work with – we work with companies of all different shapes and sizes, servicing all of their unique HR and employment law needs.
