About

If it involves your people, I can help. I specialise in employment law and have been a Partner at Lewis Silkin since April 2012, before that spending more than a decade at another major law firm.

I work with clients across all industry sectors, with a particular focus on technology, professional services and financial services. I also work occasionally for senior executives and partners.

My client base contains many large UK and international employers. I act for them on UK employment litigation, the full range of HR and employment advisory matters, and domestic and cross-border projects such as restructurings, compliance issues, acquisitions and outsourcings.

I speak and write regularly on a wide range of employment law issues, from the national media to our own insight pieces. I co-organise and speak at our annual Managing an International Workforce conference, and our regular in-house Employment Lawyers Community events. I am also a host of our coffee break podcast.
