Kerry SalisburySenior Associate

Employment

Typically my work includes advising employers on day-to-day employment law issues, handling settlement/compromise negotiations, drafting contractual documentation and policies/handbooks, redundancies (both collective and individual), auto-enrolment obligations, and acting for businesses defending Employment Tribunal claims in GB and NI. I also regularly advise clients on the differing requirements between GB and NI on employment law matters. I support employers from varying sectors on a wide range of employment issues and also regularly provide bespoke training to clients on a broad range of employment law matters.

I have experience of advising on employment law issues in EMEA, LATAM and APAC, working with multi-national clients on the project management of international advice, multijurisdictional policy and contract reviews, cross border restructuring projects and outsourcing projects. I have recently been on secondment to a US headquartered client supporting the international in-house employment team in relation to 31 jurisdictions globally.

European Works Councils and Trade Unions

I have a particular interest in collective employment issues including pension changes, collective redundancies, outsourcing, trade disputes, statutory recognition requests in the Central Arbitration Committee, threatened strike action, establishment and management of European works councils and national works councils/employee representative bodies.

I am involved in the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Group.
