I am a Partner in MLP Law’s Employment team and for over 10 years has specialised in employment law, primarily advising businesses and senior individuals. I have significant litigation experience, including experience as an advocate in the Employment Tribunal. I also have considerable experience in advising on the employment issues in corporate mergers and acquisition, including the complexities which arise in TUPE transfers. My sector experience is wide ranging, encompassing advice to clients in the hospitality, retail, construction, healthcare, recruitment and manufacturing industries. I provide training to clients and organisations on a variety of key employment topics, such as absence management, disciplinary and grievance processes and employment law updates. I also act as a guest lecturer in employment law at Liverpool Hope University. I have been described by Legal 500 as someone who is ‘very reassuring and does a great job’ and was named Legal Personality of the Year by Downtown in Business. I have also been quoted as an employment law expert in the Manchester Evening News and The Times . I give pragmatic and commercial advice which is tailored to my clients’ business objectives . Prior to joining MLP Law, I spent a number of years working in the employment teams at two international law firms in Manchester. Away from work I am a passionate cricket and football fan and enjoy discovering new music. I am a keen traveller but have had to put plans to become fluent in a foreign language on hold in favour of spending time with family, particularly my two young sons of whom I am incredibly proud.
