Practice Areas
Julie is an employment law specialist working across the full spectrum of employment issues for both Claimants and Respondents. With a particularly active practice across the Employment Tribunals and before the EAT, she regularly acts for leading international and national firms, private individuals, high-profile/senior parties, public sector organisations and a wide range of both boutique and regional law firms. Julie’s significant experience in complex whistleblowing, discrimination, TUPE and unfair dismissal cases marks her out as an employment ‘all-rounder’. She is highly sought after for her expertise in, and comprehensive understanding of, complex whistleblowing cases. An experienced advocate, Julie regularly conducts multi-day cases in the Employment Tribunal, along with the full range of preliminary applications and settlement-related steps such as mediations and ADR. One of Julie’s differentiators is her pragmatic, thorough approach. Her clients rely upon her holistic assessment of the issues - not just the commercial drivers behind a case, but the reputational, operational and precedential implications of a course of action. Julie has secured successful costs orders, strike outs/deposit orders as well as excellent results at full merit hearings and appeals. Julie’s expertise in large-scale redundancy consultations, post-COVID-19 issues, employee status determinations and GDPR issues also set her apart. She provides CPD training across all areas of employment law and is in increasing demand when it comes to her 'practical' style of training to in-house legal teams.
