About

I am a Partner in the Employment team, based in our Manchester office. I advise on all aspects of contentious and non-contentious employment law, but I have a particular focus on business restructures, change programmes and collective employment issues.

I work with clients across a range of sectors including, retail, media, manufacturing, and transport. I use the experience gained during several client secondments to provide straight forward, pragmatic and commercially focused advice. I understand the demands and complexities of being 'client side' and the need for concise, solutions focused advice.
