Biography
I specialise in representing clients in Employment Tribunals in a wide variety of employment claims. I've successfully represented and defended Employment Tribunal claims including claim for unfair dismissal, discrimination claims, whistleblowing and breach of contract claims.
I advise both employers and employees and focus not only on advising on the law but achieving a positive outcome for the client.
I regularly advise employees on settlement agreements, including negotiating the terms of settlement offers for clients to achieve a more positive outcome.
I also work in the specialist Legal Expenses Insurance team, representing employers and employees who have the benefit of legal expense insurance funding.
Recent highlights:
- Negotiated a substantial settlement for a client who had been subjected to sex discrimination and harassment
- Obtained a strike out of a claim where the claimant was not engaging in the litigation
- Negotiated a favourable settlement for a client who had resigned from his employment due to the employers’ actions including discrimination on the grounds of his age.
