About

I am a Consultant Partner in our Employment Immigration and Reward team.

I specialise in employment law and workplace data privacy law. I have experience of working domestically and in an international context on matters such as complex discrimination claims, cross-border restructuring and large scale redundancies. I am interested in the law on transfers of undertakings and on procurement by public bodies.

I also advise on constitutional and regulatory aspects of charity law and safeguarding. I have a particular interest in legislation on criminal records and rehabilitation of offenders.

I am keen to encourage the use of plain language generally and in a legal context.
