About
My practice is grounded in providing commercial advice to reduce litigation exposure and offering transactional guidance on M&A, SPA, and outsourcing deals.
I specialise in collective redundancies and restructurings, and I excel in resolving employment-related disputes. I understand the critical importance of diversity and inclusion, recruitment, and retention of key personnel. Additionally, I conduct HR audits to identify and address areas for improvement. This includes implementing change and transformation programmes that benchmark against best practices for data protection, whistleblowing, well-being, and respect policies.
Employers with international operations face unique challenges, and I recognise the need to manage risks and maximise opportunities in their people strategies while ensuring compliance across multiple jurisdictions. My approach is tailored to navigate these complexities effectively.
Recognised for my expertise in employment law, I am ranked as a Partner in both Chambers & Partners and Legal 500, and have been interviewed in national media including news channels for my employment law expertise.
I am admitted to practise in England and Wales.
