A group of around 200 former King & Wood Mallesons (KWM) Europe and Middle East (EUME) employees, including lawyers, have come together to take legal action over the way redundancies were handled in the wake of the collapse of the legacy SJ Berwin business.
The staff have instructed regional employment law firm Herrington Carmichael to handle the claim, which relates to KWM's failure to enter a formal consultation process of 45 days prior to making the redundancies, which firms are required to do when making more than 100 redundancies at one time.
