STANTON+CO​​​​​

Stanton + Co was established in 2020 by Rob Stanton, a qualified employment lawyer and former Global Head of HR at Investec Asset Management (now Ninety One) and the Gartmore Group, both FTSE 250 companies.  He has also held the role of People Director at Ark, an education charity and was a partner at Keystone Law.

​

Rob is able to use his extensive experience as both an HR Director and employment lawyer to provide organisations with advice, guidance and support on a broad range of people-related business issues.  For many years, he has been putting his legal knowledge into practice, often in complex, challenging circumstances, which means he has had to learn to deliver highly pragmatic and commercial solutions under pressure.  This has helped make him a better lawyer, a better business adviser and a better HR practitioner. 

​

As well as UK-based roles, Rob has extensive international experience in Europe, the US,
Asia and Africa and is a seasoned operator at Executive, Board and Remuneration Committee level.  During his career, he has successfully managed large teams and has had overall responsibility for employment law matters as well as HR functions such as Reward, Recruitment, Learning and Development, Employee Relations and HR Operations.

​

He has broad employment law and HR generalist experience with a particular focus on investigations, employee relations, high profile/high value exits, reward strategy and regulation and organisational change such as redundancy exercises, M&A, setting up and closing offices and outsourcing.  Underpinning everything he does is a passion for making organisations great places to work, a key driver of business success.

He is able to support on both long-term strategic projects as well as day-to-day advice.
