Employment

Head of Employment.  I joined Waterfront Solicitors in March 2012 and specialise in all aspects of contentious and non-contentious employment law.

I offer succinct and practical advice to both businesses and individuals on various issues including redundancies, unfair and wrongful dismissals claims, unlawful discrimination, grievance and disciplinary procedures, TUPE, staff handbooks, contracts of employment, restrictive covenants and their enforcement, settlement agreements and the employment aspects of corporate reorganisations or sales.  My recent work includes:

Advising the high street retailer, H&M, on HR issues and litigation. Defending a claim for injunctive relief and breach of contract in the High Court. Advising a US company on the restructure of its UK workforce. Conducting the defence of a race discrimination claim. Representing the CEO of a restaurant chain in their claim of unfair dismissal.

My clients include both employees and employers across a wide range of business sectors.  In my spare time, I enjoy playing Scrabble.
