I am lead partner in a niche employment law firm advising both businesses and people. Having specialised in employment law for the past 25 years, I am an experienced advocate, writer and public speaker on employment law issues. I always aim to give the best possible advice at a reasonable cost.Our clients benefit from my experience working in City and National law firms advising banks, listed companies and universities on a wide range of issues: including disciplinary and severance matters, data protection, discrimination claims, downsizing exercises as well as TUPE, in-sourcing and outsourcing arrangements. I understand the importance of quality and value.I represent businesses of all sizes, helping them set up with shareholder or membership agreements. I respond positively to day-to-day employment concerns and we can provide advice on an annual retainer backed by employment claims insurance. I address strategic business concerns creatively and positively, which can involve advising on the legal aspects of shareholder and partnership relationships and their breakdown.A key specialism is business protection, which prevents unfair competition and misuse of our client’s confidential information and data by departing employees and commercial rivals. Unusually for employment practitioners, I am equally at home obtaining High Court injunctions as guiding clients through the Employment Tribunal process. I can obtain Search Orders as well as supervise their execution. I also use my negotiation skills to represent departing personnel or broker severances. I have successfully represented employees in complex, high value claims, for example recovering some £.75m in record discrimination compensation from another law firm for one of its solicitors. I will listen sympathetically, but act robustly where necessary.I believe in only acting for clients where real value can be added. I am always happy to chat informally at the outset to see if we can help.
