I am an employment lawyer with more than 20 years' experience advising businesses, investors, senior executives and management teams on a broad range of employment law matters.
I have particular expertise in advising PE and VC-backed businesses, as well as companies with other external investor arrangements. I regularly support clients through periods of growth, investment, change and exit, helping them navigate complex people issues while remaining focused on their wider commercial objectives.
My practice includes complex employment disputes, team moves, post-termination restrictions, business protection issues, executive exits and Employment Tribunal claims. I am particularly experienced in advising on sensitive and high-value matters involving senior executives, management teams and key employees.
I also advise on the employment aspects of corporate transactions, including TUPE transfers, restructurings and business change projects, working closely with corporate colleagues and clients to provide joined-up, practical advice.
Having worked with clients ranging from start-ups to multinational businesses across a wide variety of sectors, it is rare that I encounter an issue I have not seen before. My focus is always on delivering pragmatic, commercially minded advice that helps clients achieve their objectives.
Alongside my client work, I regularly comment on developments in employment law and workforce regulation, helping businesses and senior executives understand and respond to an evolving legal landscape.
Outside of work, I live in North West London with my family. Weekends are spent supporting Arsenal FC, watching my twin sons play in the Regents Park Youth League, cycling and spending time with friends and family. I also enjoy unwinding with a good TV series and pride myself on being willing to give most genres a try.

Mike Tremeer – highly commercial, great with clients and with good instincts.
Legal 500, 2025
Taj Rehal and Mike Tremeer are extremely personable, calm under pressure, legally astute and deliver great results.
Mike Tremeer is excellent - pragmatic, approachable and always available to help. Helena McElroy is professional and helpful.
I have found both Mike Tremeer and Fladgate to be exceptional. He is an experienced partner, and his focus on the outcome more useful than approaches used by others and he’s without doubt a better human being.
