I strongly believe that being proactive at the earliest signs of dispute gives the best chance of a successful outcome. I am pragmatic in pursuing claims but will pursue them tenaciously to secure the best result for my client.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I have obtained numerous six-figure wins for Claimants including a City trader fired for gross misconduct and a teacher suffering from cancer who had been subjected to disability discrimination.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I am a solicitor with over 20 years of experience in the full range of employment law issues from grievances and disciplinaries to complex and hard-fought Employment Tribunal cases. Constructive dismissal, discrimination (pregnancy and maternity discrimination claims) are particular strengths having successfully acted against a leading US law firm and a high-profile fashion designer.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I have also managed to obtain the entirety of my client\u2019s legal fees in an EAT disability discrimination case. It is difficult to do so, depending on the facts, but it can be done in appropriate circumstances.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I am alert to the pressures each party can experience and this is at the forefront of my mind.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I represent my clients tenaciously and am proactive in advancing their case to achieve the desired outcome.<\/p>\n
