I have worked as an employment lawyer for nearly 20 years and now work exclusively for employer clients, principally defending complex Employment Tribunal claims often including whistleblowing and discrimination allegations. I also advise on tricky employee relations issues, including helping with the management of long- term absences, senior performance issues and managing exits.

I work with clients in many different sectors including retail, technology, service industries, pharmaceuticals and manufacturing. I have undertaken two secondments as in-house employment counsel for a car manufacturer as well as within a global consultancy firm and a bank.
