Chambers of Charles Row KC

Queen Square Chambers’ employment team possesses ‘excellent depth’, with members appearing in a wide range of cases across the Western Circuit. Mark Williams has considerable experience in cases involving whistleblowing, harassment, victimisation, and discrimination. In 2022 he acted for the respondent in the EAT case of Anis Ali v Heathrow Express & Others, in which a security firm was found not to have harassed a Muslim employee after a security training contractor used a dummy bomb labelled with ’Allahu Akbar’ as a test suspicious package – Williams successfully argued that in the circumstances the use of the phrase was reasonable. The ‘unflappable and adaptable’ Jennifer Linford is often instructed in relation to claims involving allegations of sex or age discrimination. James Bromige, with a ’tactical mind’, heads the team and specialises in whistleblowing, discrimination, and constructive dismissal claims.
