European law firm Fieldfisher bolsters its international employment offering with the addition of partner Tom Saville.
Tom joins Fieldfisher from Clyde & Co LLP, effective 6 May 2025, and will be based in the firm's Manchester office.
Tom is a specialist employment lawyer who supports employer clients with a one-stop employment law service across Europe and around the globe. At Fieldfisher, he will continue to use his expertise across international projects.
Tom advises in a range of sectors but, in alignment with Fieldfisher’s industry sector programme, he specialises in financial services and technology, with a particular focus on digital technology and cyber defence.
He also advises on all types of employment law, including: transformation projects (restructuring, TUPE, redundancy), complex disputes (Employment Tribunals, High Court actions and restrictive covenant disputes/competition), planning and implementation in relation to the new Employment Rights Act, employment lifecycle issues, workplace investigations including grievances, misconduct and harassment, discrimination including harassment and victimisation and training HR teams on employment law topics.
Fieldfisher's Employment practice operates across 12 countries in the firm's international network. The teams have long-standing experience working seamlessly on cross-borders matters advising clients on all areas of employment law. Key strengths include business transformation, investigations and employment litigation. The practice is also proficient in advising clients in a range of industry sectors, regularly partnering with clients' business leaders to provide commercial and solution-oriented advice.
Tom’s appointment reflects the continued expansion of Fieldfisher's European Employment practice, which earlier in the year welcomed partner Anaïs Cobo and partner Samuel Gonzales to its Madrid office and Jacopo Calanchi as Head of Employment in Italy. In Belgium, Tim Perdieus was also recently promoted to partner in the firm's Brussels office.
Ranjit Dhindsa, Head of Employment, Pensions, Immigration and Compliance (EPIC) at Fieldfisher, commented: ""It's fantastic to welcome Tom to our Employment practice, and his appointment marks another significant step in growing our European capabilities. Our EPIC practice saw an incredible 12% growth in revenue last year, which is projected to continue with the addition of Tom.
“Tom’s focus on litigation, investigations and advisory work aligns closely with our practice strengths, and I'm looking forward to working with together as we continue to provide exceptional service to our clients in the UK and internationally.""
Tom Saville added: “I am very excited and feel truly privileged to be joining Fieldfisher as Employment Partner. Fieldfisher is renowned for quality, its European presence and its ability to service every legal need, of every client, in every jurisdiction. Fieldfisher is on an incredible growth journey and the reasons for that are clear.
Over the coming months, we will face some of the biggest changes to employment law in a generation. I am confident that Fieldfisher is best placed to support my clients with the necessary planning and changes for this together with all their other legal needs in the UK, across Europe and around the globe.
