About Us
We are a sharp-witted, approachable, and tenacious team of specialist employment lawyers. Trusted by employers, in-house legal teams and senior executives, we navigate the most sensitive and business-critical employment law issues with strategic insight, professionalism and care.
We are a people-centric niche practice, combining technical excellence with a refreshingly human touch.
Our innovative firm is built around client needs and shaped with client insight, ensuring that loyalty, integrity and respect define every relationship we build. Our clients rely on us for decisive, commercially astute advice on complex and high-stakes matters, throughout the UK.
Founded in 2016 by partners Tiggy Clifford and Emma Whiting, Torque Law began with a simple vision – to do things differently. Today, that vision has evolved into a nationally recognised force in employment law:
- Ranked as Band 1 in The Chambers & Partners Directory
- Received the Legal500 ‘Client Satisfaction Excellence Award’
- Featured in the Times Best Law Firms List 2025
- Twice named Niche Law Firm of the Year at the Yorkshire Legal Awards (2019 and 2024).
These things are a testament to the quality outcomes we deliver and our steadfast commitment to excellence.
Our continued growth and reputation as trusted advisers to large national organisations, SME employers and senior executives have cemented Torque Law as the genuine alternative to the City’s leading employment teams.
We act as partners in every sense – strategic, collaborative, responsive, and unwavering in our pursuit of the best outcome for our clients.
“…agile team made up of lawyers who built their careers in a major law firm environment, but now leverage that considerable experience on a boutique platform” Legal500 2026
