Mr Francis Mortin
Work Department
Employment Law
Position
Francis Mortin is an employment specialist who was ranked as a “Rising Star” in the 2024 Legal 500 on both the North East and Midlands circuits. Having transferred to the Bar from a successful employment practice at leading international law firm Addleshaw Goddard LLP, Francis brings a far greater wealth of experience to his clients than his recent call year may suggest.
An all-rounder in the employment arena, Francis acts in equal measure for both claimants and respondents/defendants in the Employment Tribunal and beyond. He has substantial experience in high-value, high stakes issues, including: acting for parties in discrimination and whistleblowing cases with valuations in excess of £250,000; advising on strategic collective consultation processes; and advising on urgent interlocutory matters in the Employment Tribunal and High Court.
An active part of Francis’ practice involves dealing with issues at the complex interface of employment and civil or commercial law including: restrictive covenants; urgent mandatory and prohibitory interlocutory injunctions; director (often senior and high-profile) exits; and circumstances where key or valuable corporate information is alleged to have been stolen.
