I was called to the Bar then qualified as a solicitor. Prior to joining rockhopper, I worked at a leading London firm for 6 years before joining EEF, the manufacturers’ organization, a trade association to get a different perspective, to the traditional legal practice. I gained experience advising, training and representing companies in tribunal predominantly in the manufacturing sector, working in a large national team of lawyers. I am well versed in the full spectrum of employment legal issues, including re-organisations, TUPE, discrimination, disciplinary and grievance and, whistle-blowing.

I now have 2 toddlers and enjoy the village life whilst still being close to the buzz of Bristol centre. rockhopper provides me with the perfect opportunity to work at home, as part of an extremely dedicated and talented team, allowing me to maximise my time with my family whilst enhancing my career.
