He has particular expertise in disability discrimination cases (including a successful ‘landmark’ reasonable adjustments claim), sex, sexual orientation and age discrimination cases, whistleblowing, complex unfair dismissal cases, and has acted in a number of extremely sensitive, high profile cases involving sexual harassment. He regularly advises on individual equal pay cases and reorganisations and redundancies.

Nick appeared before the Women and Equalities Select Committee to give evidence on how effective the EHRC is in the enforcement of the Equality Act.
