About

I am an experienced employment lawyer splitting my time between LS In-house, rockhopper, a busy young family and house renovation projects.

Since joining Lewis Silkin in 2022, I have undertaken secondments in the banking, fintech and IT consulting sectors.

I have experience in all aspects of contentious and non-contentious employment law, but particular expertise relating to atypical worker arrangements. I undertake general advisory work and also advise on the employment aspects of outsourcing projects and corporate transactions. I have extensive experience of Employment litigation both in the Employment Tribunal and High Court action for injunctive relief. I also have international employment law experience.
