About me
I specialise in employment law and business immigration, advising healthcare clients on contentious and non-contentious matters.
I represent employers in complex Employment Tribunal litigation, including appeals, involving unfair dismissal, discrimination, whistleblowing, breach of contract and wage disputes.
Alongside litigation, I provide support on employee relations issues such as recruitment, disciplinaries, grievances, redundancies, and sickness management. I also support with corporate matters including advising on TUPE exercises, carrying out of due diligence and preparing contractual documentation.
Within business immigration, I regularly advise clients on right to work checks, sponsor licence applications, compliance audits and related employment concerns.
I regularly deliver training to HR and management teams on compliance and employee relations issues.
My approach is proactive and tailored, I take time to understand each client’s culture, pressures and priorities, and aim to be a trusted advisor, collaborating across teams to deliver joined-up, strategic solutions.
Clients often describe me as dependable, pragmatic and easy to work with. I focus on building long-term relationships and providing clear, practical advice that supports confident decision-making, and am rewarded by seeing the real-world impact of my advice.
I’m passionate about developing others and fostering inclusive environments, so take pride in mentoring junior colleagues and contributing to a collaborative team culture that supports growth.
