Professional background

Professional background

I am an employment lawyer with over 30 years' experience supporting domestic and international companies operating throughout Europe and globally.
I co-head our People and Work European Practice Group, a group of 100+ lawyers across 14 jurisdictions, who deliver frictionless, cross-border support to European clients through a single point of contact.
My work is centred on supporting UK-headquartered and international organisations navigating complex people challenges - particularly where decisions taken in one country have commercial and legal consequences across others. I advise on the full lifecycle of workforce issues, from day-to-day strategic HR support through to high stakes transformation.
I particularly enjoy partnering with clients during significant change - restructures, outsourcing, reorganisations and operating model redesign. This often involves advising on TUPE, reductions in force and contractual change programmes, ensuring workforce strategy supports business ambition.
Having been a business owner and director, I understand the organisational challenges of running a business and the need for legal services to be delivered in a commercial, pragmatic and responsive way. 
I pride myself on getting the job done and my approach to issues is creative and solution focused.  I am a trusted adviser and critical friend to clients operating in the life sciences, tech and advanced manufacturing sectors, many of whom I have worked with since the beginning of my legal career.
I am regularly invited by clients to speak to boards and senior leadership teams on a range of topics to assist them lead their organisations through legal compliance and change. 
I am directly contactable for queries from employers, including those based abroad, who require prompt, clear interpretations of opinions on the UK and European employment law landscape.
Please contact me on [email protected] or on +44 7901 913993.

The European Works Council Directive: implications for sequencing workforce reductions in Europe

16.09.2026
The recently adopted European Works Council Directive (Directive (EU) 2025/2450) must be transposed by Member States by 1 January 2028. Although the revised regime will not in all respects apply immediately on transposition, and its practical effect will depend in part on the status of any existing European Works Council ("EWC") or related agreement, it represents a significant shift in how multinational employers should approach workforce restructuring across Europe.
