Individual Editorial
Amy Smith has an emerging practice with a particular focus on disability discrimination. She practises across the entire country at Employment Tribunal and also has experience of advocacy before the Employment Appeal Tribunal. Smith often represents public bodies such as NHS trusts and local authorities but has also represented private employers, as well as employees.
Strengths
Amy is a pleasure to work with. She is great with clients and always on top of the case, emotions and politics. Amy presents herself very well and makes the client feel comfortable and in safe hands.
Amy is very knowledgeable, great on her feet at the Employment Tribunal, really good with often nervous witnesses, and my clients have found her good to work with.
Amy is a very impressive advocate who understands the client's context while maintaining a laser-level focus on the details of a case. She's thorough and explains herself in a straightforward manner.
I like Amy - she's on the ball and very good with clients.
