James StorkePartner

I therefore advise on a broad spectrum of employment issues from general HR queries and employment relations matters to more complex areas such as TUPE, discrimination, post-termination restrictions and senior terminations. I have considerable experience of handling disputes and regularly act for clients defending claims in the Employment Tribunal as well as dealing with mediations and arbitrations.

I work with my senior HR clients to help them develop and deliver their important projects and strategic goals and I have a particular interest in employee engagement and well being and have organized and spoke at conferences on both subjects. In addition, I often work with our colleagues in our global alliance, Ius Laboris, obtaining and coordinating advice from foreign jurisdictions for international projects.
