Parklane Plowden garners praise from instructing solicitors as the ‘best set for employment law in the North Eastern circuit, with good strength at junior and senior level‘. The team has traditional strength in handling instructions from respondent clients, however the group is equally adept at advising claimants on a wide range of employment work. The ‘very intelligent‘ Dominic Bayne is very experienced in acting for employers in unfair dismissal, discrimination, equal pay and TUPE cases; he jointly heads the team with Andrew Sugarman, who is ‘a calm and assured advocate‘. The ‘tenacious‘ Sophie Firth has been kept busy advising on dismissal and discrimination claims. Rising star Amy Rumble is ‘thorough, approachable and commercial‘.
