About

As an Associate in our Employment Litigation team, I specialise in employee competition matters covering disputes in the High Court and arbitrations.

I frequently advise on the enforceability of restrictive covenants, and matters involving breaches of contract and the misappropriation of confidential information. I have experience bringing and defending urgent injunction proceedings, as well as supporting on investigations and forensic evidence collection. I also advise on high value litigation in the Employment Tribunals, for example, acting in complex whistleblowing and discrimination claims.

I advise clients across a broad range of sectors, but in particular, those in financial and professional services.

I am a member of the London Solicitors Litigation Association (LSLA and JLSLA) and the Employment Lawyers Association (ELA). I am also an active member of our Education & Social Mobility committee and participate in various pro bono activities.
