I deal with a wide variety of matters affecting employers and employees. I enjoy the technical challenges Employment Law involves, as well as the people-oriented focus, I aim to resolve situations in a way that allows the employer and employee to move forward positively. I advise on internal matters, including grievances and disciplinaries, restrictive covenants, and the application of and obligations arising under TUPE. I have an interest in the law on whistleblowing. I have experience of handling all types of Tribunal case, including all kinds of discrimination and victimisation, as well as unfair and constructive dismissal. I also have significant experience in the Employment Appeal Tribunal; for example, in 2013 I successfully defended an appeal against a Judgment that a claim for disability discrimination was out of time. I undertook the Bar Vocational Course at Nottingham Law School and cross-qualified as a solicitor in 2008. I have practiced Employment Law since 2003, beginning my career in a consultancy representing employers at Tribunals. I moved to work for a large national law firm, representing companies and employees in Employment Tribunal proceedings, as well as advising on employee relations issues. I have been published in the industry publication ELA Briefing. I pride myself on developing a good rapport with clients so that they appreciate that I understand the outcomes they are looking to achieve. Comments include the following: “I would like to put on record, formally, my deepest appreciation to you for all your hard work in getting us to this point. From the outset I have found you to be hugely professional, incredibly thorough, very clear in all your explanations (both written and in discussion), patient and conscientious in all that you have done.” I graduated in law from the University of Liverpool in 2001. Before joining Lyons Davidson, I worked as an Employment Advocate representing Respondent employers in Employment Tribunals.

    Employment law experts with cracking humor and customer service

    When I wronged under the EA2010 not only in process but a failure to make reasonable adjustments, failure to provide training, mistakes were made and no adjustments were made! I approached David and Simon on their support with a “settlement” the knowledge, customer service and process was seamless from start to end! With a few jokes cracked along the way, which brighten up the time I was having! Highly recommend R&R as a firm for the employer and employee! Ellie was fabulously! Thank you so much and keep being different the usual status quo within your field

    First Class Service

    After working with Robinson Ralph we would most certainly recommend them and use them again. David was professional, efficient and helpful throughout. I cannot fault the service provided it was excellent.

    HR Development Day

    David delivered on the brief and was clearly knowledgeable and able to answer the questions raised by the group. Our request was specific and he tailored it well both to the subject matter, and the audience.

    I received excellent support with my settlement agreement. David was professional, knowledgeable and easy to communicate with throughout. He took the time to explain everything clearly and ensured I felt confident before signing. I’m very grateful for his help and would highly recommend him.
