Lisa is a Senior Associate at GQ|Littler. She works across all areas of employment law focusing mainly on day-to-day advisory work and litigation support.

Lisa has significant experience in defending high value and complex litigation, particularly in leading on strategic decisions on long-running disputes. She has particular expertise and interest in discrimination, sexual harassment and whistleblowing cases, often where claimants are seeking multiple millions of pounds in remedy, as well as experience in High Court proceedings for breach of contract. She is particularly interested in discrimination claims and regularly supports clients with difficult employee grievances, disciplinaries, redundancies and employee exits.

She also specialises in advising on data protection issues and has experience in managing and responding to data subject access requests and helping employers comply with their data protection obligations. Additionally, she has provided various training sessions to clients on this topic and has developed guides and step-plans to support employers with compliance.

Lisa regularly provides support on day-to-day matters such as advising on the enforceability of restrictive covenants, carrying out employment contract and handbook audits and coordinating the roll out of global contracts.

Lisa also plays a key role in the firm’s CSR efforts and holds the relationship with the London Legal Support Trust and encourages the team to get involved in charitable initiatives such as the London Legal Walk, Great Legal Bake Off and annual pub quiz. She also regularly volunteers at the Bethnal Green Pro Bono Clinic.
