Professional background

My expertise spans all types of employment law, including transformation, restructuring, and redundancy. I handle complex disputes, Employment Tribunals, and High Court actions, including those involving competition and restrictive covenants. I am able to address all issues that might arise during the employment lifecycle, from workplace investigations (such as grievances, misconduct, and harassment) to discrimination cases, including harassment and victimisation.

Additionally, I am  proficient in TUPE regulations and I often provide training for HR teams on various employment law topics. I can also offer planning and implementation guidance in relation to the new Employment Rights Act.

HR Transformation: Planning — designing change through an employment law lens

05.05.2026
In this series, we examine HR transformation through an employment law lens. Our focus is not on technical process design, but on how transformation decisions are scrutinised if later challenged. In particular, we consider whether change has been designed and delivered in a way that is legally robust and defensible.
