St Philips Chambers

Employment

With a wealth of knowledge and breadth of experience in employment law, Jonathan Heard’s practice covers a broad spectrum of work from unfair, automatic and wrongful dismissals to discrimination, equal pay, TUPE, whistleblowing, wage deductions, and unlawful detriment claims.

Of particular focus to his practice are TUPE, discrimination and whistleblowing claims.

Well-known for his approachability, aptitude for forensic analysis and swiftness in understanding the essence of an issue, Jonathan often receives instructions for multi-day and intricate cases at first instance, in addition to matters that go to appeal.

Due to the above, Jonathan is the go-to advocate to a diverse, loyal and growing number of clients including PLCs, private limited companies, senior executives, NHS trusts, police forces, SMEs, directors, town councils, local authorities, big supermarkets, banks, GPs, dental practices, schools, universities, charities and solicitors’ firms.

Called to the Bar in 2004.
