Catherine specialises in discrimination, human rights law and employment law. Her knowledge of the Equality Act 2010 ("EqA") is exceptional (she advised and drafted for it on behalf of clients during its passage) with particular expertise in disability discrimination. She represents and advises at all levels - from high profile organisations to individuals - in very complex and sensitive discrimination matters. She has appeared in ground breaking cases involving discrimination and human rights - including Preddy and Hall v Bull and Bull (sexual orientation and discrimination), Paulley v First Buses (up to the Supreme Court ) and in the High Court, Rowley v Cabinet Office, about BSL users and covid briefings. She obtained the first injunction in non-employment discrimination claims and continues to obtain these for clients. Her instructions range from cases involving assisted dying to education discrimination and seeking judicial review of juror participation. She also advises organisations on strategic litigation and legal policy issues. In the employment field, in addition to discrimination she has developed expertise in whistleblowing and complex worker contractual claims. She was involved in drafting the EqA Codes of Practice on Services, guidance on the Public Sector Equality Duty and Education, and on age and services. She has advised and acted in covid related issues and was specialist adviser to the Women and Equality Committee sub- inquiry into Covid and disability. Publications include Blackstones on the Equality Act 2010 and Legal Action's Discrimination in Employment A Claims Handbook
