A Strong Track Record Maxlaw Global was founded by Minaxi Woodley (Max), an international labour law expert with more than a decade’s experience in private practice and in house. She has extensive expertise in the international arena, working with clients across multiple geographies, cultures and time zones. She has worked in Paris, London and San Francisco. Minaxi began her career as a consultant at the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). As a professional English-qualified lawyer, she has advised leading international companies across a range of sectors around the globe. "In my role as external counsel to two leading international companies involved in the professional services and recruitment sectors, I have witnessed at first hand the excellent national and international employment law and HR support Minaxi can provide to dynamic and fast moving companies." Sean Dempsey, Partner, Employment, Rewards and Immigration, Lewis Silkin LLP"I have had the pleasure of working with Minaxi when she worked for our company as an employment law specialist based in our London office for our UK and European operations. I have rarely met a person who was as thorough as she in identifying quickly the issue, having the command on the applicable legal principles, and recommending thoughtful and practical solutions. She proved to be a great advisor to me and I always found valuable her consultation." Latham Williams, Senior Vice President, Legal Affairs, Hudson Global Inc"I really enjoyed working with Minaxi while I was at Oracle. She has a very high level of expertise, is very business oriented and always asks the right questions. She was the European lawyer while I was working in Spain and she had a very thorough knowledge of the different European legislations. She would always come with a fresh perspective and she was of great help in many complex situations. Finally, I really enjoyed her workstyle as she was always accessible and it was very easy to work with her." Almudena Capell, Organization & Talent Development Manager, GE Healthcare."I first worked with Minaxi Woodley when Towers Watson (then Towers Perrin) were looking to source a senior employment counsel to support their operations across Europe and Asia. This was a challenging mandate as very few employment counsel have that breadth of international experience. After an exhaustive search Minaxi was successful in securing the role and worked for Towers for 3 years leading on all their employment matters across the regions. Subsequently, in my role as Legal Director at Hudson, Minaxi joined us as a lead employment counsel for UK & Europe, successfully managing the implementation of many new employment policies and managing various employment litigation matters across the region. I would not hesitate in recommending Minaxi to any organisation looking for project specific or general domestic and international support on contentious or non-contentious employment matters. Her sound commercial judgement and in-depth international expertise have always been a source of great comfort to the clients for which Minaxi has acted." Tom Moore, Managing Director at GCG, a Crawford Company"Minaxi has a great deal of experience over many years handling the legal and HR challenges that arise from establishing and managing an international workforce in Asia Pacific and globally. She is responsive, commercially focused and has great interpersonal skills. The combination of her legal background and business knowledge will make her a valuable and cost-effective resource."
