Position
Paul's experience in our employment team is pivotal in its recognition as an elite ranked team for employment law advice. He advises clients on contracts of employment, employment policies, individual and collective dismissals, discrimination claims, restrictive covenants and the practical aspects of sensitive internal investigations (both grievance and disciplinary).
Paul is advising his financial services clients on the implementation of the Senior Managers/Certification Regime (SMCR) including drafting policies, updating contracts and SMCR documentation, together with bespoke training to the compliance and HR community at his clients. Paul has a wealth of experience advising clients on how to apply the SMCR to everyday employment matters, for example disciplinary procedures, internal investigations, regulatory references and the notifications to the PRA/FCA on such issues.
He also has considerable experience in dealing with multi-jurisdictional employment law issues on corporate transactions (TUPE and share sale) and outsourcing.
Paul's strengths are with clients in the financial services sector, FTSE 100 and international luxury brands. In The Legal 500 UK 2024 legal directory he is rated as "one of the most talented employment lawyers in the country. He leads a brilliant team by example. He combines outstanding client engagement with close detail to the specifics of every case" and is described as "tenacious and really brings the fight for clients whilst remaining commercially astute as to strategic calls in the litigation."
Paul qualified in England and Wales in 1999.
