Dual Recognition In Employer And Employee Representation Categories

Irwin Mitchell is proud to announce that its Employment Law team has achieved outstanding recognition in the 2025 Doyle’s Guide to Leading Employment Lawyers, with multiple team members ranked across both Employer and Employee & Union Representation categories in Manchester and London.

In Manchester, Helen Kidd has been named a Leading Lawyer in both the Employer Representation and Employee & Union Representation categories—an exceptional dual recognition that highlights her versatility and expertise in advising both businesses and individuals on complex employment and industrial relations matters.

In London, Shah Qureshi has been listed as a Recommended Lawyer in the Employee & Union Representation category. Shah is widely respected for his work in discrimination, whistleblowing, and workplace rights, and his inclusion reflects his continued impact in advocating for fairness and justice in the workplace.

Our employment law teams in London and Manchester have also been recognised amongst the UK’s leading teams representing senior employees and employers respectively.

The Doyle’s Guide is a respected independent publication that ranks lawyers based on peer nominations and industry research. These accolades underscore Irwin Mitchell’s unique strength in delivering top-tier legal services to both employers and employees.
