About

I am a Senior Lawyer in our rockhopper team with over 11 years' experience in employment law, advising on all matters pertaining to the employment relationship.

I advise on both contentious and non-contentious matters for employers, on a range of legal issues including grievances, disciplinaries, sickness absence, family friendly provisions, performance management and TUPE. I also have substantial experience in advising on and defending Employment Tribunal claims and drafting policies, contracts and agreements.

Prior to becoming a rockhopper lawyer I was a Senior Associate in the employment team at Watson Farley & Williams LLP where I advised clients across a range of sectors, including hospitality, energy, real estate, financial services and software and technology.
