About

I am an Associate in the Employment team in Belfast, having qualified in 2024 following several years' paralegal experience.

I advise employers across all sectors on the full range of contentious and non-contentious employment law matters in Northern Ireland, including tribunal claims, disciplinaries, grievances and dismissals. I focus on delivering clear, commercial and pragmatic advice tailored to each client's business needs.

I am also an active member of the Responsible Business Committee and enjoy contributing to initiatives both within the firm and in my wider community.
