Experience

I joined the Employment Team at Bates Wells in September 2019.

I undertake a broad range of contentious and non-contentious work for both employers and employees.

Highlights
  • Unfair dismissal I am working with a US-based company in defending a multi-day disability discrimination and unfair dismissal claim.
  • TUPE I am advising in relation to a claims for automatic unfair dismissal by reason of a TUPE transfer and failure to inform and consult, in circumstances where the transferor is now in administration.
  • Disability discrimination I am working with a UK-based homelessness and access to employment charity in defending a disability discrimination and unfair dismissal claim.
  • I have prepared the employment contract for the new Chief Executive of a statutory body.
  • I have worked with a UK-based music education charity to produce a series of guidance documents in relation to employment status and holiday pay.
  • I have undertaken a due diligence exercise from an employment angle in relation to the spin out of services from a local council to a UK-based education charity.
