I am a specialist employment lawyer (barrister) with over 20 years’ legal experience (since 1998 - I leave you to do the maths). I’ve seen it from the employer’s side and the employee’s side. I've advised start ups, SMEs, big corporates, the UK Government and even the UN. See my full profile

​

Read the testimonials to get a sense of who I am and how I work. What I pride myself on is drawing on my expertise to give very clear advice, to help my clients think about the whole picture, of which the legal points is usually only a part, and being brilliant at finding the way forward. 

 

Because the law is not always the right answer, I’m also a really keen mediator and conflict resolution expert. Check out the Resolution Pod.

ps If it's only me, why did I say "who we are"? I rely on a network of other lawyers or paralegals to help me either with different specialisms or as overflow. But one of the advantages to appointing me is I will always be the person you speak to on employment issues.
