I am an Associate in our employment team. I work with employers across a variety of sectors, but in particular those in professional services, technology, media and retail. I advise on contentious and non-contentious issues across the entire life-cycle of the employment relationship, from hiring to dismissal and everything in-between. Prior to joining Lewis Silkin, I studied Law at the University of Bristol and completed my legal training in London at a leading global law firm.
