Employment

I am the National Head of Employment Law at Irwin Mitchell.

My client experience includes providing support to a number of large and small businesses in a variety of different fields and I am a key adviser and the relationship partner to some of the Employment and Pension Group’s key national clients. These include a number of well-known PLC clients.

An experienced Employment Tribunal advocate, I specialise in high value whistleblowing and discrimination matters.

I also advise on a wide range of employment law matters including the enforcement and defence of restrictive covenants, advising on senior level appointments and exits, outsourcing, acquisitions and disposals including Transfer of Undertakings, Protection of Employment (TUPE) issues, large scale reorganisations and redundancy, discrimination and equality issues. I am an expert on holiday pay matters.
