I'm a leading employment law barrister practising from Outer Temple Chambers, with 25 years’ experience defending public and private sector employers against employment claims. Clients range from a Royal Family, international airlines, hospitals and FTSE-100 companies to David & Victoria Beckham’s nanny.I am a member of the BAILII advisory board, and a past chair of the Employment Lawyers’ Association’s publishing committee and electronic services working party. I am the author or co-author of fifteen legal books, including the market leading Handbook on Employment Law, two of which have reached #1 in the Amazon bestseller lists. I set up the Employment Law (UK) mailing list, an email alerter bulletin service sending details of breaking news in employment law three times a week to over 30,000 recipients.Legal directories describe me as “extremely knowledgeable and [I] can absorb pages of instructions at lightning speed”, “involved in a number of highly contentious matters”, “singled out for [my] work for large blue-chip companies”, “combination of in-depth legal knowledge, pragmatism, quick response times and approachability”, “inexhaustible”, “tenacious”, “knowledgeable” and “an excellent advocate”.

I have presented seminars for the House of Commons, the BBC, Oxford University, HSBC, Barclays Bank, Ocado, and dozens of other organisations in-house, and keynoted at national and international conferences.
