About

I have 13 years' experience in advising employers on the full spectrum of UK employment law. Many of my clients are household names and sit within the technology and manufacturing sectors. I also act for the number of financial services clients.

I have particular experience in advising on strategic change issues, business restructures and collective redundancies. As well as UK advice, my work often has an international dimension and I regularly manage cross-border projects for my clients, particularly across the EMEA region. I am also responsible for a number of international retainers which enable clients to access expert employment law advice in all of the countries in which they operate.

I have significant experience of defending UK Employment Tribunal litigation, including complex discrimination and whistleblowing claims.

I live and work in Cardiff, Wales. I was recognised as a Rising Star for Employment: Wales by Legal 500 in 2024.
