Professional background

Professional background

I have deep experience advising HR, in-house legal and senior leadership teams on all aspects of UK and EU employment law including onboarding employees, HR data privacy matters, performance issues, employee sickness absence, misconduct, business protection matters, reduction in force and termination of employment. I also have strong expertise advising on discrimination, whistleblowing and harassment issues in the UK workplace. I am a proficient litigator, with experience in the UK Employment Tribunal, Employment Appeal Tribunal and High Court. 

I have been consistently ranked as an ‘Associate to Watch’ and ‘Rising Star’ in Chambers & Partners and Legal 500 respectively. I am a regular media commentator and have appeared on a Channel 4 documentary, as well as being quoted in publications such as The Times, The Sunday Times, Law360, IFLR and Women’s Health Magazine. I have also written articles for many publications including but not limited to efinancial careers, the Solicitor’s Journal, the International Employment Lawyer, HR Magazine, People Management and the Legal Gazette. 

I'm a regular speaker at client seminars and international conferences.

Whilst working with clients in all sectors, I have particular experience advising clients in tech, life sciences, financial and professional services and luxury fashion.

Prior to joining Fieldfisher, I worked in a top tier Chambers-ranked employment law team at an internationally recognised full-service law firm in London. I have lived and worked in the USA, the UK, Japan and Italy.
