David Murphy

David is a partner in Fox Williams’ employment practice, known for guiding HR, management, and in-house legal teams through challenging employment situations. He also advises senior executives on joining or leaving their employers, and managing difficult times during their employment.

Recognised as ‘first class’ by Legal 500, David’s expertise spans sensitive employee relations issues and exits, often with a regulatory angle, through to tribunal litigation, restrictive covenants and the employment aspects of business re-organisations and corporate transactions.

David has successfully defended and brought a wide range of employment tribunal claims (including discrimination, whistleblowing, unfair and wrongful dismissal cases).

Whilst his clients are mainly in the financial services and professional services sectors, he also advises technology and property development companies.

David regularly advises North American clients with UK interests on their HR and employment matters.
