I have specialised in employment law for over 20 years, advising clients from within the private and public sector across the full suite of employment law issues. I began my career in private practice, in a regional top-rated employment team, before moving in-house as the Principal Employment Solicitor for a large police force, where I had responsibility for all employment law matters across the organisation. More recently, I worked as a freelance consultant, supporting corporate clients on both day-to-day employment advice and specific project work.

I joined the Lewis Silkin in-house team as a Senior Lawyer in 2021 and have been fortunate to work in a range of sectors in-house, including pharmaceutical, information technology, fintech and media.

I have extensive experience of both contentious and non-contentious matters across the full range of the employment relationship, including supporting clients with international restructuring projects (including TUPE), discrimination matters, employment contracts, employment status, equal pay, complex disciplinary and performance management cases, conflict resolution and grievance issues, policy-making, employee exits and managing complex tribunal claims, including judicial mediation.

My focus is on building collaborative relationships with senior managers and stakeholders to provide practical and commercial solutions.
