About
I am a highly experienced litigator working in both the Employment Tribunal and High Court. On the non-contentious side, I provide HR support to corporate clients, advising on complex restructures, global employment policy changes and TUPE.
I am skilled in managing post-termination disputes with senior executives and adept at advising on settlement negotiations and severance terms. I have a strong track record in handling sex discrimination and equal pay cases, particularly for senior women in the financial services sector.
I have an international practice and act for several multinational companies on a range of cross-border employment matters and disputes. I am the Deputy Chair of the Employment Lawyers Association’s (ELA) International Committee and a Council Member of the American Bar Association.
I regularly contribute articles to employment law and HR publications and offer commentary for the media. Committed to giving back, I participate in pro bono schemes and I am passionate about diversity, inclusivity and social mobility. I am an active and vocal member of the Firm's Diversity Committee, working to promote a culture of inclusion and equality within our Firm.
I am admitted to practise in England and Wales.
