Employment partner delivering strategic solutions for complex workforce issues

As an employment law partner in Shoosmiths’ Leeds office, I advise clients on both contentious and non-contentious employment matters. I am an experienced advocate, representing clients in high-profile Employment Tribunal proceedings across the UK, and have a strong track record in defending class actions and discrimination claims.

I support clients with everything from day-to-day employee relations issues to large-scale strategic change projects, including outsourcing, restructuring, and senior manager training. My approach is straightforward and focussed on delivering solutions that add real value to clients’ operations.

Clients value my commercial awareness and personable style, and I am committed to helping businesses use employment law as a tool for growth and resilience.

I am qualified in England & Wale as well as Northern Ireland and I regularly provide support to clients in that jurisdiction.

I am recognised as a leading partner in Chambers & Partners 2026.
