Michael Salter

Michael is a specialist in employment law with deep expertise across its associated fields. Since 2013 he has served as a part-time Employment Judge in England and is uniquely the only practising barrister to sit in a similar capacity in the Jersey Employment and Discrimination Tribunal.

His clients range from individuals to multinational corporations, alongside regular instructions from local authorities, public sector employers, and trade unions.

He serves as an External Examiner in Employment Law at City, St George’s University of London, and has held regulatory roles including membership of the both the Bar Standards Board’s Independent Decision-Making Body and the Professional Conduct Committee, and Disciplinary Assessor for the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants.
