Civitas Law’s employment group offers considerable expertise, with members receiving instructions from a wide range of employers and employees in relation to advisory and contentious matters. Jonathan Walters is regularly instructed by clients from the public and private sectors in relation to complex discrimination and whistleblowing employment tribunal litigation. With ‘excellent advocacy skills’ Joanne Williams principally acts for respondents, including government departments; recently she represented the respondent in the direct belief discrimination claim, Sohpal v HMRC, concerning postings about COVID-19 vaccinations on a workplace Yammer forum. Christopher Howells ‘goes the extra mile for his clients’ and often handles discrimination and whistleblowing claims brought by employees against local authorities.
