About

I have worked for a wide range of clients across multiple sectors, from employees and small businesses to global organisations both In-house and in private practice for the last 10 years.

I started my career in private practice advising both employees and employers across the technology, media & entertainment, financial services, retail & fashion sectors in a variety of employment issues including experience both in bringing and defending high value claims in the Employment Tribunal relating to whistleblowing, sex discrimination and race discrimination.

I joined the LS In-house team in 2023 and have been seconded to the EMEA Employee Relations team and then separately the EMEA and LATAM Employment legal team of two global technology companies. Prior to that, I spent 3.5 years working In-house in the EMEA Employment legal team of the largest Asset Manager in the world covering 21 different jurisdictions across EMEA.
