He advises on contentious disputes and is a trial lawyer with a national reputation - representing employers when facing mass claims, those of legal principle or those affecting reputation and bringing mass claims for employees.
He has a busy and flourishing appellate practice, with judgments from the Supreme Court in 2022 on the accrual of holiday pay (Harpur), in 2021 to his challenges to the calculation of the national minimum wage for workers required either to work at home and or to sleep at work (Mencap) and in 2018 the Supreme Court implied a new term into all contracts of employment as to notice (Haywood) as well as, in an earlier case, accepting his arguments as to consultation obligations (UCU). In 2022 the Court of Appeal Appeal accepted his arguments allowing gig economy workers to carry over both untaken and unpaid leave until the end of their employment (Pimlico No2) and in 2019 he appeared before the Court of Appeal as lead counsel in three leading cases: constructive dismissal and suspension (Lambeth v Agoreyo), Agency workers (Kocur v Royal Mail) and part-time / zero hours holiday pay (Harpur). He is a trained mediator, carries out investigations for organisations, prosecutes and defends in disciplinary hearings, is experienced in sports’ arbitrations in all roles as an advocate, Arbitrator and Chairman.
