As an Associate in Shoosmiths’ Employment team in Scotland, I advise employers and individuals on a wide range of contentious and non-contentious employment matters. I support clients with complex employment tribunal litigation, including a mass equal pay and trade union blacklisting case, and I regularly represent clients throughout the tribunal process, from advising at the inception of a claim to conducting the advocacy at the final hearing. I am passionate about providing accessible and pragmatic advice, helping clients manage conduct issues and absence, navigating employee exits, and offering strategic solutions on tricky areas such as employment status and restrictive covenants. I am also well versed in drafting contracts, policies, and delivering training.
