Practice Areas
I deal with all aspects of the employment and working relationship with a particular focus on:
- director and senior employee exits (advising both employers and employees);
- restrictive covenant and breach of confidentiality actions;
- discrimination complaints;
- whistleblowing complaints;
- complex and high value settlement agreements;
- Mediation;
- employment tribunal claims and advocacy;
- working issues relating to people who are not employees (self-employed, partners, consultants, LLP members); and
- training on employment law issues.
As well as pure employment law issues I regularly get involved in:
- confidentiality and restrictive covenant actions in the High Court, often in conjunction with our Dispute Resolution team;
- shareholder/director disputes;
- partnership disputes.
I am known for coming up with creative solutions to legal issues and will often be engaged by clients to formulate exit strategies or where a second opinion is being sought.
I will provide practical and no-nonsense options for the resolution of issues in the working relationship.
As an advocate I have appeared in employment tribunals all over the country including in wales and Scotland.
I am a regular speaker at employment law conferences and have appeared on television and radio commenting on topical employment law issues.
Personal
I am a qualified ADR Mediator and have been involved in numerous high value mediations.
