Profile / Experience

I am an Employment Consultant Solicitor at Duncan Lewis, with 21 years of dedicated experience in Employment Law.

Over the course of my career, I have gained substantial expertise in handling a comprehensive range of employment law matters, including but not limited to:
  • Drafting employment contracts and consultancy agreements;
  • Preparing staff handbooks and company policies, including disciplinary, dismissal, grievance, and whistleblowing procedures;
  • Advising on grievance and disciplinary issues;
  • Managing workplace investigations;
  • Addressing discrimination issues, including those based on sex, race, disability, religion or belief, sexual orientation, age, gender reassignment, pregnancy and maternity, and marital status;
  • Ensuring compliance with equal pay legislation and gender pay gap reporting;
  • Supporting businesses through Transfers of Undertakings (TUPE) and outsourcing arrangements;
  • Advising on redundancy, restructuring, and business reorganisation;
  • Drafting and negotiating settlement agreements;
  • Handling issues related to maternity, paternity, shared parental leave, adoption leave, and other family-friendly rights;
  • Advising on flexible working arrangements and reasonable adjustments;
  • Addressing breaches of contract, including restrictive covenants and confidentiality issues;
  • Representing clients in cases of unfair dismissal, wrongful dismissal, and constructive dismissal;
  • Advising on working time regulations, holiday pay, and national minimum wage compliance;
  • Assisting with employment tribunal claims and representation;
    • I represent both employees and employers, frequently working closely with Human Resources teams to pre-empt and resolve workplace disputes without litigation wherever possible. My practice involves a particular focus on discrimination matters across all protected characteristics under the Equality Act.

    I pride myself on providing clients with clear, honest, and pragmatic advice. From the outset, I ensure clients have a thorough understanding of their case’s strengths and weaknesses, as well as any potential cost implications or risks of proceeding. My goal is to empower clients with the knowledge they need to make informed decisions and achieve the best possible outcome.
