Ross prides himself on his extensive legal expertise, deep strategic thinking, and his very client centric approach to his work, relying on his empathy and clear communication to understand the position of his clients and explain their rights and responsibilities to them. This approach was required when working on a corporate client matter where there was fraudulently claimed expenses and complaints of sexual harassment against the client’s Managing Director (MD). The outcome of the matter led to the MD’s termination of employment on the ground of gross misconduct. Ross also had to work with the client to ensure its UK staff impacted by the MD’s actions were fully supported as well as advising the client on how to resolve and improve industrial relations going forward.

Ross is a longtime member of the Employment Lawyers Association and the Immigration Law Practitioners’ Association.
