About

Provided by Paul Gillen

Practice Areas

I'm a Partner in our Employment, Immigration and Reward team, based with the rest of the fantastic team in Belfast. Being qualified in England & Wales, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, I provide cross jurisdiction and comparative law advice to clients throughout the UK and Ireland, bringing a bit of Belfast craic with me.

I advise clients on contentious and non-contentious matters, including HR support, mergers & acquisitions, restructuring, executive management, performance management, TUPE, outsourcing, discrimination law, and a full range of employment litigation.

I advise across a range of sectors including hospitality, retail, manufacturing, pharma, technology, financial services, education and public bodies.

So, I don't look like a typical lawyer...eh? Well, perhaps because prior to training as a lawyer I had more than a decade of experience working in HR management roles across sectors covering retail, construction, manufacturing and logistics. I am a Chartered Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development, a Fellow of the Institute of Directors, as well as Visiting Professor to the school of law at Ulster University.
