Ellen TempertonPartner

I am also a member of our employment and partnership practice groups. I have over 20 years’ experience advising on a wide range of matters across a variety of sectors but with an emphasis on professional and financial services.

As a specialist in workplace privacy I head up our workplace privacy team and advise on the full range of workplace data issues. I am called on to speak about employment privacy issues at conferences and events, both nationally and internationally.

I also have considerable experience of high court litigation and arbitrations including restrictive covenants, team moves, garden leave and confidential information and partnership disputes. In the Employment Tribunals I have defended my clients against sensitive and high value allegations of discrimination.

I am a regular contributor to publications such as PLC and am a member of the ELA legislative and policy committee and am often called upon to speak at conferences on employment law topics.

I regularly advise partnerships & LLP’s and individual partners and members, in relation to voluntary and compulsory retirement, termination agreements, team moves and restrictive covenants and the rights and obligations of partners and members. I have represented such clients in high value litigation and arbitration.
