- I successfully acted in the case of Dewhurst v CitySprint - a landmark “gig economy” case concerning the employment status of cycle couriers.
- I advised staff involved in a high profile national political campaign in relation to a workplace dispute.
- I advised a global head within an investment bank on matters in relation to breach of contract and reputational implications and successfully secured their reinstatement.
- In the context of the #MeToo environment, I have advised both employers and employees in relation to sexual harassment complaints.
- I successfully acted for an international charity, defending whistleblowing claims at employment tribunal and appellate level.
- I successfully pursued a £3 million class action case against an international technology business.
- I successfully acted for a National Museum defending discrimination claims at appellate level.
