About

I am a Senior Associate in the Manchester Employment team at Lewis Silkin. I joined the firm in November 2025.

I qualified in 2019, but I have worked in the Employment sector for over 10 years. I have experience in a wide range of contentious and non-contentious matters. The bulk of my work involves handling Employment Tribunal litigation for Respondent clients in a variety of sectors. I also advise on senior executive disputes (acting for both employer and individual clients).

I am people focused and I'm motivated by the human element of my work. I offer agile and tailored advice to my clients and always with a smile!
