I am a legal director and advise a broad range of organisations including local authorities, housing associations, universities, NHS trusts, regulators, charities, colleges of further education, schools and corporate entities.
I deal with all aspects of the employment relationship including contracts and service agreements; policies and procedures; recruitment; reorganisations and redundancies; disciplinary, performance and grievance matters; discrimination and handling employment tribunal cases. I undertake investigations on behalf of clients into workplace disputes.
In particular, I regularly advise on employee transfer issues, including TUPE, secondment and shared employment arrangements, as well as drafting and negotiating employment documentation. I am also involved in dispute resolution, dealing with the commercial terms on which the employment of senior employees is brought to an end.
In addition, I frequently provide employment law training through seminars and workshops.
