Daniel SmithTrainee Solicitor

I currently sit in the Employment team and deal with a variety of contentious and non-contentious matters. I support the wider team with a range of legal tasks which includes drafting, liaising with counsel and clients, undertaking large scale disclosure exercises and performing legal research in relation to client queries. I also have experience in employment litigation matters in the High Court.

Prior to joining Lewis Silkin, I worked as a Paralegal for multinational law firm, in the Energy, Engineering, Marine & Construction department before joining Lewis Silkinhouse where I undertook a 6 month secondment at a large national retailer working in their Dispute Resolution team. I graduated from the University of Newcastle Upon Tyne in 2017 with a degree in Law and completed the MSc and LPC at the University of Law, Bloomsbury.
