About

I joined Lewis Silkin in 2023 as an Associate in the Employment team. Prior to joining, I completed my training contract at Pinsent Masons.

I support employers on a wide range of employment issues covering both day-to-day advisory work as well as contentious matters across a broad range of sectors including financial services, professional services, retail, hospitality & leisure and sport.

I am a member of the Employment Lawyers Association and the London Solicitors Litigation Association.

Alongside my practice, I am heavily involved in the firm's Social Mobility group.
