I am a Partner in our Employment Department with over 12 years of experience of advising employers and senior executives on a wide range of employment law matters.
I have significant experience in a wide range of contentious and non-contentious employment law matters including employment tribunal claims, redundancies, disciplinary and grievances and drafting and negotiating service and settlement agreements.
In addition, I advise our clients on business immigration matters which is increasingly important for businesses who are having to look at different approaches to recruitment of staff given current skills shortages.
Over the years I have also gained significant experience of advising on the employment aspects of corporate transactions including advice on business transfers and outsourcing matters, often involving complex TUPE issues.
I always strive to provide an excellent service to clients, seeking to understand the nature of their business or concerns and what they want to achieve in order to provide practical and tailored solutions to the issues that our clients face.
Having joined Taylor Walton as a trainee solicitor in 2007 and qualifying into the employment team in 2009, and becoming a Partner in 2021, I am testament to our ‘Grow our Own’ ethos.
