I assist employers with the management of risk. This includes helping with the management of staff performance and change while avoiding conflicts and legal disputes. I regularly deliver in-house training to managers to equip them better for dealing with likely scenarios and to provide them with invaluable information and the confidence to respond to every eventuality. While my primary goal is to avoid conflict and reduce risk, I have extensive experience of High Court, Employment Appeal Tribunal and Employment Tribunal litigation should it be necessary to engage in litigation.
The Employment Team also works with individuals who need legal support. We advise clients who have been offered settlement agreements, we can negotiate the terms on their behalves. We also act for clients in the protection rights arising from complex issues including discrimination, whistleblowing, contractual disputes (especially in the context of post termination restrictions) etc.
I am honoured to be recognised as a 'Leading Individual' by the Legal 500, and my team is appropriately recognised as having the distinction of being in 'Tier 1' for Essex, according to the Legal 500.
In my spare time I am the Provincial Grand Master for Freemasonry in Suffolk and the founding chair of the Wombles Community Charity.
