UK Bar
Employment - Midlands (Bar)
Individual Editorial
Edmund Beever is head of employment at St Philips and highly experienced in handling complex restrictive covenants and senior executive disputes and exits. He also has expertise in a wide variety of discrimination issues and whistle-blowing claims, and is frequently instructed by clients to represent them in substantial tribunal hearings. He brings added knowledge from his experience as a part-time employment judge.
Strengths
Edmund Beever is the best - he is calm, super-meticulous and his cross-examination is exceptional.
I find Ed's approach commercial, pragmatic and measured.
