Interesting. In the US, I would almost never use a lawyer paid for by someone else. I'd always assume the lawyer's client is whoever is paying them.

You pick the lawyer yourself - they just send their invoice to your ex-employer, after they've advised you.

I used a specialist employment lawyer at the same firm that my wife works as a commercial litigator - she recommended him.
