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.
