Practice Areas

Nick is a Partner in the employment, pensions and immigration team, responsible for national clients and a team spread across his own office of Leeds, plus Manchester, London, Birmingham and Glasgow.

He has a portfolio of household names as his clients, having a particular specialism in the road transport sector, both haulage and passenger carrying vehicles, and also within healthcare and charities. He is skilled at advising company clients, including transport providers, haulage companies, care providers, NHS Trusts, owner managed businesses, and charitable organisations, on both contentious and non-contentious matters and is praised for providing "invaluable support" by his clients.

Nick and his team manage a significant caseload of Employment Tribunal litigation matters, including claims of unfair dismissal, discrimination, employment status, wages/national minimum wage, holiday pay, whistleblowing and TUPE. During his career he has appeared in almost all of the Employment Tribunals in England and has also conducted his own advocacy in Scottish Tribunals and appeared in the Employment Appeals Tribunal, with an excellent appreciation of not only what the law says, but also how it is likely to be interpreted in practice.

Nick provides strategic, tactical advice on various matters such as disciplinary and grievance issues, TUPE, industrial relations, equal opportunities, redundancy processes, restrictive covenants and business protection and contractual disputes. He advises on matters such as large-scale change projects and other complex issues involving high-profile, media sensitive material together with the removal and/or management of senior employees and Company directors.

Nick also provides bespoke client training including the delivery of in-house national training programmes to a number of clients.

Nick also acts for medium to high net worth individuals, including negotiating settlement agreements with payments up to approximately £500,000.
