Greg is recognised for his proficient advice for employers and employees on various contentious and non-contentious matters. He shows adept handling of complex matters, including Tribunal claims and advising individuals facing dismissal or other disciplinary functions. He regularly advises on and negotiates settlement agreements and is the team lead for employment contracts and policies.

Greg has developed particular expertise in disability discrimination claims including unfair dismissal, wrongful dismissal, whistleblowing, and discrimination claims (including age, sex, race, religion or belief and disability), as well as determination of employment status. He routinely acts for both employers and employees in the Employment Tribunal.

He is also particularly notable in immigration law and advises employers in relation to sponsored employees – to whom special employment law considerations often apply. Greg’s immigration work includes advising employers on applications for sponsor licences and obtaining worker visas under the new points-based immigration system.

He regularly advises employers on the Skilled Worker and Global Business Mobility routes, which include the Senior or Specialist Worker route (formerly Intra-Company Transfer) and the UK Expansion Worker route (formerly Representative of an Overseas Business). He also advises individuals on securing their right to live and work in the UK (including late applications under the EU Settlement Scheme) and applications for British citizenship.

Greg read law at Magdalen College, Oxford and as part of his degree he spent a year studying French Law at Université Paris II (Panthéon-Assas) as an ERASMUS student.
