I am an Associate in Lewis Silkin's Employment team, based in Cardiff. I advise employers in the UK and internationally on contentious and non-contentious employment matters. My work ranges from day to day HR issues and workplace change through to complex Employment Tribunal litigation.
I particularly enjoy contentious work, both in the Tribunal and well before a claim is issued. Grievances and disciplinary investigations can easily escalate and become litigious, and I enjoy helping clients manage these carefully and strategically to resolve them at an early stage where possible. I also have particular experience in gig economy matters, including advising businesses on structuring working arrangements and supporting them in employment status litigation.
I understand that finding the best route forward involves weighing the legal position alongside the wider factors, including the commercial, reputational and employee relations impact. My focus is on providing straightforward and pragmatic advice, distilling complex and nuanced situations into a clear route forward for clients.
I am part of the firm's LGBTQIAA+ Committee, LewisSilkOUT.
