“Suzanne’s forensic examination of the facts was incomparable. As a former General Counsel I had instructed many lawyers in my time, but Suzanne stands head and shoulders above them all. She had a unique ability to understand the significant impact of the events on me but also showed a grasp of the facts and a tenacity in negotiation that was beyond measure.”

“Suzanne just got it! She told me I had done nothing wrong and she fought hard for me. She achieved a settlement at mediation which I never thought possible. It was life-changing for me.”

As sexual harassment lawyers, Farore Law brings over 30 years of experience in handling matters involving allegations of sexual misconduct.
Our recent cases include: advising and representing a global News Anchor in a cross-border sexual harassment case; representing Ms A in her sexual harassment and sexual assault claim against Mike Hill MP; advising Ms A in her sexual assault claim against UBS investment Bank; advising a Member of the House of Lords accused of sexual harassment; advising on claims against Crispin Odey; advising Weinstein victims and two NHS and private medical consultants who have been sexually assaulted. And many more.
Our cases often involve multi-million-pound claims and settlements. We bring a commercial and sensitive approach which always considers the importance of reputation management, career protection and rights of privacy and anonymity.
Our specialist sexual harassment lawyers represent both victims and individuals facing allegations of sexual misconduct, whilst understanding that institutional failings are often the root cause of, or a significant contributing factor to, acts of sexual harassment, related misconduct and toxic work environments. We also act for individuals, companies and other institutions, both in relation to contentious and non-contentious matters. In addition, we are able to progress any litigation from inception through to advocacy at any final hearing.
As specialist sexual harassment lawyers, we advise on and act for clients in matters involving allegations of sexual misconduct in the workplace, partnerships or within academic institutions, both in the High Court and Employment Tribunals. We have a particular focus on senior executives and media and entertainment professionals. Our lawyers are well placed to secure anonymity orders on behalf of our clients, as well as working with PR consultants and defamation lawyers to ensure that our clients are able to protect their reputation and private lives whilst making allegations of sexual misconduct or being the subject of such allegations.
Farore Law’s lawyers are also specialists in cross-border employment litigation, which means that we are well placed to advise clients in sexual harassment cases with an international dimension. In a recent case, we advised a victim of sexual harassment in enforcing her rights against a multi-national corporation, where the perpetrator was based in another jurisdiction, the harassment occurred in a third jurisdiction and some of the misconduct took place by way of texts across a number of other continents.
As part of our misconduct specialism, we have advised clients facing internal disciplinary proceedings across a broad range of sectors. We are therefore well-versed in “crisis management” and can represent our clients in internal disciplinary proceedings and in disciplinary tribunals should the need arise. Our lawyers have in the past advised individuals regulated by the FCA, SRA and BSB facing allegations of serious misconduct and the regulatory implications of such allegations.
As investigations lawyers, we conduct bespoke independent investigations on behalf of organisations into matters arising from sexual harassment within the workplace, partnerships and academic institutions.
Suzanne McKie KC, who heads the Team, has been quoted in and interviewed by the Press on many occasions because of her particular knowledge and expertise in this field.
