Louise Mankau

Employment, Discrimination and Equality Law

Louise is an employment and discrimination law specialist who has developed a practice covering all aspects of employment and discrimination law.

She is regularly instructed in various aspects of employment litigation including all forms of discrimination, whistle-blowing claims, TUPE matters, constructive/unfair dismissal and contract law. She is also experienced in employment-related international administrative law matters.

Louise has been described as very approachable, and an excellent communicator who provides a very high standard of client care. She is noted by instructing solicitors as being “remarkably responsive”, as having “an excellent rapport with judges and lay members”, and being “extremely client-friendly”.

During the course of her career at the Bar, Louise has acted for both Claimants and Respondents, including clients as diverse as cleaners, bus drivers, surgeons, European royalty, international institutions not subject to the jurisdiction of English law, large telecommunications companies and a number of local authorities and charities.

In 2014, following a period of maternity leave, Louise took a break from the Bar and worked as Head of Employment at a solicitors firm for two years. As a result of this experience, she is particularly sensitive to the needs of instructing solicitors.
