Case Study: a top 10 UK law firm achieves a favourable wrongful dismissal resolution with Novo Executive Search and Selection expert witness support

a top 10 UK law firm resolves wrongful dismissal dispute with Novo Executive Search and Selection in mediation

A top UK law firm was advising a client on a wrongful dismissal claim involving a divisional managing director within a UK manufacturing business. The challenge was to assess whether the dismissal aligned with market practice and reasonable executive-level processes amidst the complexities of organizational change. The law firm appointed Novo Executive Search and Selection to provide expert witness services.

Novo implemented a solution that involved reviewing the recruitment process, role scope, and internal governance, and benchmarking against comparable manufacturing leadership appointments. This resulted in an expert report that identified clear process inconsistencies, which created leverage in mediation and contributed to a commercially favorable resolution for the claimant.
