About

I am an Associate in our Employment, Immigration and Reward division, based in Cardiff. I advise employers from various sectors on a range of contentious and non-contentious matters. This includes day-to-day HR issues such as disciplinaries, grievances, sickness absence, performance management and exits. I also conduct Employment Tribunal Litigation.
