About

I am a Senior Lawyer in our LS In-House team advising employers on a wide range of employment law issues from day-to-day advisory matters, tribunal claims and corporate transactions. Prior to joining LS In-House, I began my career in private practice in a national top-rated employment team before moving to an international firm for seven years where I gained experience managing global HR and employment law projects resulting in a high-level awareness of employment laws outside of the UK.

My aim is to deliver pragmatic and commercial employment advice to clients taking into account their attitude to risk and operating environment.

Outside of work, I enjoy scuba diving, interior design, singing in a gospel choir and trying to keep up with my young son.
