“I have advised and acted for clients on a range of employment law matters. I have a particular interest in discrimination cases and those involving a financial and/or corporate element. I recently successfully represented, as leading junior, a group of 74 claimants in a class action against Carillion plc, in a 10-day preliminary hearing at the Manchester Employment Tribunal. The compulsory liquidation of Carillion plc is described by the Insolvency Service as the largest and most complex trading liquidation in the UK. My oral advocacy and submissions were praised by my co-counsel as “very persuasive and attractive”.
I am instructed in pre-litigation matters including advising on: settlement and compromise agreements; handling internal grievance and disciplinary proceedings; and drafting policy documents.”
