Craig Ludlow

I act for both defendants, SMEs and claimant executives and staff at all stages of the litigation process, including providing pre-litigation and strategic advice on issues such as: performance management and capability; procedures for dealing with disciplinaries and grievances; TUPE; group and whole site redundancies; occupational health issues; potential whistleblowing allegations; reasonable adjustments for disabled employees; the enforceability of restrictive covenants; and injunctions.

I’ve acted for and against numerous multi-national companies, national newspapers, charities, schools, colleges, care homes, GP and dental practices, recruitment consultancies, insurance companies, supermarkets, adult education providers, and a Church. Consequently, I’m very familiar with dealing with the CQC (Care Quality Commission), safeguarding issues, the FCA (Financial Conduct Authority), and relevant professional body and Ombudsman issues which arise from dealing with this type of litigation.

Over the last 10 years I’ve also developed a sub-specialism in transport work and I’m very familiar with the specific policies, procedures, and contracts of employment that are sometimes unique to the transport industry. I’m also fully familiar with the commercial aspects of how London based transport companies interact with and secure contracts with Transport for London (‘TfL’) and the standards which the companies must adhere to in order to retain such contracts and routes, which can sometimes raise issues which require sensitive and careful handling.
